A
concepts-oriented course for the non-science major. A study of the origin of
life, the cell, growth and reproduction, genetics and evolution. This course
may not be used to meet graduation requirements by students majoring in the
College of Sciences and Mathematics or for certification of high school
teachers in biology.

|
|
Format - Integrated lecture & lab (designed for teachers) |
 |
|
An introduction
to properties of matter, kinematics, dynamics, and chemical bonding.
Selected topics will be presented in a manner which will integrate
principles of physics and chemistry.

Designed
for the student with no geology background. An introduction to the study of
minerals, rocks and the processes that modify and shape the surface features
of the earth. Energy, mineral, and water resources; volcanism; and other
practical aspects of geology are stressed.

Planetary and Space Life
Sciences |
|
Format - Integrated lecture & lab (designed for teachers) |
 |
|
This concept-based course will concentrate on Earth as a
life-support system for its inhabitants and will be taught from the
perspective that the students are part of the living, changing Earth. It
will emphasize the fact that the atmosphere, ocean, and land interact in
ways that help dictate the conditions that foster life. We will emphasize
science teaching based upon the National Science Education Standards

Fundamental
Applications of Chemistry |
|
Format - Integrated lecture & lab (designed for teachers) |
 |
|
Presentation of
the applications of chemistry and chemical principles to everyday life with
an emphasis on hands-on investigations. This course will not count toward a
major or minor in chemistry.
