and develop skills that enable them to
differentiate and integrate multivariate
functions; analyze the equations of lines,
planes, and some solid figures in space;
use two- and three-dimensional vectors;
use vector-valued functions in solving
application problems; and apply vector
fields to various application problems.
A specific calculator is required for this
course. See a math instructor for acceptable
models. Prerequisites: Completion
of ENGL 0700 or ENGL 1001 (or equivalent
placement test score) and MATH

(3 cr.)
Elementary Linear Algebra
This course involves a study of matrices,
systems of linear equations, linear
transformations, and vector spaces.
Successful students acquire knowledge
and develop skills which enable them
to perform matrix operations, solve
systems of equations using Gaussian
elimination, find a basis for a given set of
vectors, orthogonalize a matrix, find the
eigenvalues and eigenvectors for a given
matrix, and solve applications. A specific
calculator is required for this course. See
a math instructor for acceptable models.
Prerequisite: Completion of MATH 2200.
Offered fall semesters only.
MATH 2310
(3 cr.)
Applied Differential Equations
This course involves a study of ordinary
differential equations and integral
transforms. Successful students acquire
knowledge and develop skills that enable
them to solve first order differential
equations with exact solutions, solve
higher order linear differential equations
using Laplace transforms, and construct
mathematical models and solve application
problems. A specific calculator
is required for this course. See a math
instructor for acceptable models. Prerequisites:
Completion of ENGL 0700 or
ENGL 1001 (or equivalent placement test
score) and MATH 2205. (Offered spring
semesters only.)
MATH 2350
(4 cr.)
Business Calculus I
This course involves the study of calculus
through business, economic, and social
applications. Successful students acquire
knowledge and develop skills that
enable them to apply unique modeling
approaches to the material through out
the course. This course is non-algebraic
in nature, and the development of the
conceptual understanding of calculus
is data driven and technology based. A
specific calculator is required for this
course. See a math instructor for acceptable
models. Prerequisite: Completion of
MATH 1400 or equivalent.
MATH 2355
(4 cr.)
Mathematical Applications for Business
This course involves the study of equations
and systems of equations, linear
programming, matrices, the mathematics
of finance, set theory, probability, and
statistics. Successful students acquire
knowledge about and develop skills in
solving linear equations and least square
regression, matrices, linear programming,
finance (including simple and compound
interest, inflation and population
growth, annuities, and amortization),
sets and counting problems, probability
and statistics, and other selected
topics. A specific calculator is required
for this course. See a math instructor
for acceptable models. Prerequisites:
Completion of ENGL 0700 or ENGL 1001
(or equivalent placement test score) and
MATH 1400 or equivalent.
Molecular Biology
MOLB 2210
(4 cr.)
General Microbiology
A study of microscopic organisms. Students
compare and contrast microbial
structures, categorizing microbes according
to their physiological and metabolic
properties. Students also examine the
ecological role of microbes and utilize
microbes to study genetic processes and
develop microbial laboratory techniques
while utilizing aseptic and basic lab safety
procedures. One field trip is required.
Typically, this course has three hours of
lecture and three hours of laboratory per
week. Prerequisite: Completion of BIOL
1010.
MOLB 2220
(4 cr.)
Pathogenic Microbiology
A study of pathogenic bacteria, viruses,
rickettsiae, and fungi in human and
higher vertebrates. Students demonstrate
knowledge of infectious processes, host
resistance, mechanisms of transmission,
virulence, chemotherapy, methods of
detection and isolation, epidemiology,
and the impact of pathogenic microorganisms
on society. Typically, this course
has three hours of lecture and three
hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite:
Completion of one college-level
biology, molecular biology, or zoology
course.
Music
MUSC 1000
(3 cr.)
Introduction to Music
An introductory course emphasizing the
fundamentals of music, music literature,
and composers of all historical periods.
Aids to intelligent listening are stressed.
Prerequisite: Completion of DVST 0510
or ENGL 0510 (or equivalent placement
test score).
MUSC 1010
(3 cr.)
Music Fundamentals
In this course, students acquire the
basic skills of reading and writing music,
including standard music notation, all
major and minor key signatures, and
scales. Prior knowledge of music theory
is not required. The course is open to
non-music majors.
