The second part of a two-term physics course employing the use of calculus. Topics covered during this term are electricity, magnetism, and optics.
General Physics with Calculus I
Part one of a two-term comprehensive course in physics involving the use of calculus in problem-solving. Topics include mechanics, heat, wave motion, and sound.
General Chemistry I Lab
The first course in a two-term sequence, SCI 145 and SCI 146. This sequence includes two labs SCI 145L to be taken concurrently with SCI 145, and SCI 146L to be taken with SCI 146. Topics covered include chemical measurements, stoichiometry, atomic structure, the periodic table, chemical bonding, inorganic compounds, nomenclature and formula writing, gases, liquids, solids, solutions, acid-base chemistry and ionic reactions and descriptive chemistry of non-metals. To enroll, students must pass a department placement exam or obtain departmental approval.
Laboratory experiments to accompany SCI 145.
General Chemistry II Lab
The final course in the two-term sequence. This sequence includes two labs. Topics covered include oxidation-reduction, chemical, and ionic equilibrium, kinetics, electrochemistry, coordination chemistry, thermodynamics, nuclear chemistry, an introduction to organic chemistry, and highlights of the descriptive chemistry of metals. Prerequisite: SCI 145
Contemporary Health
Will expose students to the three major dimensions of health physical, emotional and social. Health, nutrition, substance abuse, infectious diseases and stress management are among the issues that will be discussed. Students will learn to intelligently relate knowledge of health to the social issues of our day.
General Chemistry II
Final course in the two-term sequence. This sequence includes two labs. Topics covered include oxidation reduction, chemical and ionic equilibrium, kinetics, electrochemistry, coordination chemistry, thermodynamics, nuclear chemistry, an introduction to organic chemistry and highlights of the descriptive chemistry of metals.
Principles of Physical Science
A study of the basic concepts of physical science. Topics covered include the influence of the scientific method in understanding science, energy and motion; Newtonian physics, the solar system, the universe and geology.
Human Growth and Development
Students in this course study about physical and psychological development from the prenatal period to death. Patterns of human development are also considered.
Social Psychology
Social psychology is a dynamic study of how an individual’s thoughts, feelings and actions are affected by others. Issues discussed include prejudice, conformity, interpersonal attraction and violence. The scientific methods of studying such phenomena are emphasized.
Introduction to Psychology
An introduction to various areas of psychology, including scientific investigation, motivation, personality, intelligence, behavioral deviation, perception, learning and human development. It provides a basis for further study in related areas.
