51-111 General Biology I (4)
Introductory major course dealing with principles of cell structure and
function, genetics, development, reproduction and animal systems biology.
Lab emphasis on the investigative approach and experimental techniques
of biology.
51-320 Ecology (4)
This course provides an understanding of the relationship of plants and
animals to their environment with particular consideration given to distribution,
communities and population analysis.
51-345 Environmental Toxicology and Assessment (4)
Study of the sources, movement, and changes of toxic compounds in the air,
soil and water and the accumulation of toxic compounds in the abiotic and
biotic components of the environment as well as the basic principles of
assessing the health hazard posed by these environmental pollutants.
52-201/202 General Chemistry (4/4)
Basic laws and chemical concepts are integrated with structure of matter,
periodic law, types of bonding, modern atomic theory, radioactivity, thermodynamics,
nuclear chemistry and chemical equilibrium.
52-210 Intro to Organic Chemistry (4)
An introduction to the names, properties, and reactions of organic functional
groups with applications to biochemical monomers and macromolecules.
52-300/310 Quantitative Analysis (2/2)
A course in the theory and operation of modern analytical equipment including
electrochemical methods, UV-Visible spectrophotometry, infrared spectrophotometry,
flame emission spectrophotometry, chromatographic methods and others.
63-402 Applied Statistics (3)
An elementary course in basic statistical concepts. Students are introduced
to the understanding and use of necessary computational procedures to attain
the basic sills in the following: frequency distributions, graphs, central
tendency, variability, normal curve, probabilities, correlation, hypothesis
testing and chi square. Understanding and use of the above statistics is
stressed over mathematical development.
73-340 Principles of Organization and Management (3)
Considered in this course will be elements of managing (planning, organizing,
leading, and controlling) with particular emphasis upon organizing and actuating
responsibility and authority, delegation, decentralization, the role of
staff, line-staff relationships, committees, board of directors, organization
charting, formal and informal organization, communication, and reaction
to change.
