Course Descriptions
BIO 1104 BIOLOGY CONCEPTS
An introductory course which deals with the basic concepts of biology. Topics include the nature of science, the nature of life, evolution, ecology, diversity, genetics, plant biology, and animal biology. This course satisfies the minimum requirements in general education, and is the basic prerequisite for all biology courses. There is one 2-hour laboratory per week.
BIO 2014 ZOOLOGY
This is a basic study course built around a systematic study of the vertebrate and invertebrate forms of the animal kingdom. The student is guided through an integrated study of taxonomy, ecology, morphology, physiology, and phylogeny of representatives of the phyla of animals. There is one 3-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: BIO 1104, Biology Concepts, or 1324, Principles of Biology II.
BIO 2124 BOTANY
A basic study course surveying the diversity, structure, physiology, uses, and significant
adaptations of the plant kingdom and related kingdoms. Special attention is devoted to the flowering plants and their relevance to humans. There is one 3-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIO 1104, Biology Concepts and one additional Biology course, or BIO 1214, Principles of Biology I and one additional Biology course.

Prerequisites: BIO 1104, Biology Concepts and one additional Biology course, or BIO 1214, Principles of Biology I and one additional Biology course.
CHM 1014 GENERAL CHEMISTRY I
Introduction to chemistry with emphasis on the theoretical and descriptive aspects of the science. The use of problem-solving in understanding chemistry is stressed. No chemistry background is required. Three hours of lecture and three hours laboratory per week. Prerequisite or corequisite: MTH 1033, College Algebra or MTH 2015, Calculus I.
CHM 1024 GENERAL CHEMISTRY II
Continuation of CHM 1014. Continued introduction to the fundamental concepts of chemistry. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CHM 1014, General Chemistry I. Prerequisite or corequisite: MTH 1043, College Trigonometry or MTH 2024, Calculus II.
MTH 1043 COLLEGE TRIGONOMETRY
Circular functions and their graphs, identities, inverse trigonometric functions, trigonometric equations and applications of trigonometry. Prerequisite: MTH 1033 College Algebra, or its equivalent.
PHY 2014 COLLEGE PHYSICS I
A survey course in elementary physics for students majoring in biology, environmental science, the health professions, or the social sciences. Stress is placed on basic principles. Topics include vectors, kinematics, Newton’s laws, circular motion, work, energy, impulse, momentum, rotational motion, elasticity, simple harmonic motion, fluids, thermodynamics, kinetic theory, waves, and sound. Three hours lecture, one hour recitation and two hours laboratory per week. Prerequisites: MTH 1033, College Algebra and MTH 1043, College Trigonometry.
PHY 2024 COLLEGE PHYSICS II
A continuation of PHY 2014. Topics include electric fields, Gauss’ law, electric potential, capacitance and dielectrics, current and resistance, D.C. circuits, magnetic fields, Faraday’s law, inductance, A.C. circuits, electromagnetic waves, light, geometric optics, interference, particles and waves, quantum theory, and nuclear structure and reactions. Three hours lecture, one hour recitation and two hours laboratory per week. Prerequisite: PHY 2014, College Physics I.
