Course DescriptionsBIOB170 Principles of Biological DiversityCredits: 3 Offered Spring SemesterCo-requisites: BIOB171Prerequisites: BIOB160The second course in the biology sequence emphasizes studyof the principles of biology within specific classifications suchas kingdoms and species. Areas of study include viruses,bacteria, protests, fungi, plant, invertebrates, vertebrates, andhuman biology.BIOB171 Principles of Biological Diversity LabCredits: 1 Offered Spring SemesterCo-requisites: BIOB170Prerequisites: none; a previous biology course isrecommendedThis course is the lab accompanying BIOB170.BIOH104 Basic Human BiologyCredits: 3Prerequisites: noneThis one-semester course covers the basic anatomy andphysiology of the human body. Lecture will concentrate onthe physiology (function) of several body systems includingthe nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, and urinary systemsand how they contribute to homeostasis of the body. Lab willmainly concentrate on the anatomy (form) of bones, muscles,brain and spinal cord, and the heart.BIOH105 Basic Human Biology LabCredits: 1Prerequisites: noneThis course is the lab accompanying BIOH104.BIOH201 Human Anatomy and Physiology ICredits: 3Prerequisite: noneThe student will learn the general principles of cell and tissuebiology that apply to all living systems. Structure and functionof the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, sensory, andendocrine systems will be studied. Homeostasis, control, andintegration of the human body will be emphasized.BIOH202 Human Anatomy and Physiology I LabCredits: 1Prerequisite: noneThis course is the lab accompanying BIOH202.BIOH211 Human Anatomy and Physiology IICredits: 3Prerequisite: A “C-” or higher in BIOH201 or consent ofinstructorIn this second course of a two-semester course series, thestudent will learn the structure and function of the endocrine,digestive, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, reproductive,and urinary systems of humans.

Bacterial, fungal,and viral agents of disease will be studied and the methods fortheir identification and control.BIOM251 Microbiology for Health Science LabCredits: 1 Offered Spring SemesterCo-requisites: BIOM250Prerequisites: BIOH201 or consent of instructorThis lab component is designed to reinforce the material coveredin BIOM250 by providing students with a practical hands-onopportunity to execute and to observe supplemental exercisesin a lab setting. This course can also function as a stand-alonecourse for students who have completed the lecture componentof microbiology previously.BUS105 Introduction to BusinessCredits: 3Prerequisites: noneThis course introduces the nature of business and the trends thatchange the way business is conducted.
