BIOL 107 Introduction to Cell Biology - 3 credits
|
An introduction to cell structure and function. Major topics include the molecules and structures that comprise prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, the mechanism by which energy is harvested and used by cells, how cells reproduce, and how information is stored and used within a cell via the processes of DNA replication, transcription, and translation. Prerequisites: Biology 30 & Chemistry 30. Co-requisites: None |
CHEM 101 Introductory University Chemistry I - 3 credits
|
Introductory chemistry is intended for students interested in further study in pure science such as chemistry, biology, geology, or physics and also for those who require a working understanding to achieve their career goals in medicine, engineering, forestry, and environmental sciences. In addition, introductory chemistry is useful for non-science majors who enjoy science and look for scientific knowledge to heighten their awareness of the material world. Prerequisite: Chemistry 30 or Equivalent. Co-requisites: None |
CHEM 102 Introductory University Chemistry II - 3 credits
|
Rates of reactions, thermodynamics and equilibrium, electro-chemistry, modern applications of chemistry. Prerequisite: CHEM 101. Co-requisites: None |
CHEM 161 Organic Chemistry I - 3 credits
|
The study of basic molecular structure and reactivity of organic compounds based on their functional groups. Introduction to nomenclature, three dimensional structure, physical properties, and reactivity of compounds of carbon. Functional groups covered will emphasize alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alkyl halides, alcohols, and some aromatics. Examples will include hydrocarbons (petroleum products), halogenated organic compounds (e.g. pesticides), and polymers of industrial importance which may be found in everyday life. Prerequisite: Chemistry 30 or equivalent. Co-requisites: None |
ENGL 112 Introductory English Literature - 6 credits
|
This course considers the social, historical, and cultural development of English literature. It explores a variety of voices by engaging with texts from different genres, time periods, and countries. In so doing, students learn about others and themselves.
