1998-1999 Academic Catalog

Science Mathematics Prephysical Therapy .The prephysical therapy program prepares students for admission to graduate-level schools of physical therapy and generally satisfies the prerequisites prescribed by the Ameri– can Physical Therapy Association (A.P.T.A.) accredited graduate schools. Students should contact the specific schools they wish to attend to determine the exact prerequi– sites for those schools. Physical therapy schools favor students who have gained practical experience in the field. Consequently, prephysical therapy students should obtain a minimum of 100 clock hours of experience in assisting a licensed physical therapist prior to their senior year. Competition for admission to physical therapy schools remains fierce. The prephysical therapy curriculum, which satisfies the requirements for a degree in biology, provides students with many health-related, postgraduate study options. These options include medical, dental, osteopathic, optometric, chiropractic, and graduate schools.

These courses will not count toward graduation requirements for majors found in the department of science and mathematics unlt;ss they are specifically listed in the cun-iculum requirements for a major. A siudent majoring in science or mathemat– ics may take these courses only as electives. However, any course listed for science or mathematics major or minor may also count toward fulfilling General Education Requirements. BI0-100 Principles of Biology-A,W,Sp,Su 5 hours Emphasizes basic life processes and the p1inciples by which these processes operate at the ecological, organismic, and cellular levels of organization with emphasis on human responsibility toward life at all levels. Four lectures and one two-hour laboratory per week. (Fee: $35) BI0-101 Environmental Biology-Su 5 hours Emphasizes relationships among living organisms and the environ– ment. Classroom discussion, frequent field studies, and student projects will teach students to integrate biological and Christian stewardship principles, and apply them .toward understanding local community and global environmental problems. (Fee: $35) BI0-216,217 Human Anatomy and Physiology I,II-A,W 5 hours each quarte1· Survey of the principal systems of the human body with emphasis on both structure and function. BI0-216 includes a review of basic biology plus the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. BI0-217 includes the endocrine, respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, urinary, and reproductive system. Four lectures and one two-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: B/0-100 Principles of Biology, or CHEM-154 Principles of Chemistry, or pe11nission of instructor. (Fee: $35) CHEM-154 Principles of Chemistry-A,Su 5 hours For non-science majors, an introduction to atomic structure, ionic and covalent bonding, stoichiometry, kinetic theory, solutions and equilibria, nuclear chemistry, nomenclature, structure, and reactions of organic compounds. Four lectures and one two-hour laboratory per week. (Fee: $35) CHEM-158 Chemistry for Engineers-W,Su 5 hours Study of the states of matter, energy, and chemical change. Labora– tory will stress quantitative skills. Four lectures and one two-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: high school chemistry and Algebra II. (Fee: $35) GSCI-100 Intermediate Algebra-A,W,Sp 4 hours Review of algebraic principles, which are then extended to the solution. of polynomial equations, systems of linear equations, and inequalities with an emphasis on computational proficiency. Other topics covered are rational and radical equations, functional notation, and exponential and logarithmic functions. This course is designed to prepare the student for GSCI-184 College Algebra or other mathemat– ics courses of comparable difficulty. The class time consists of three hours of lecture and two one-hour laboratories per week. May not be applied toward the 192 quarter hours needed for graduation nor toward the science and mathematics General Education Requirement. GSCI-160 Principles of Earth and Space Science-Sp,Su 5 hours Survey of the sciences of geology, oceanography, meteorology, and astronomy. Will be studied from both evolutionary and creationist perspectives. About half the course will deal with the basic funda– mentals of geology considering the main rock types and geological activities of the earth. Also includes a brief overview of the processes and composition of the oceans and the atmosphere and a consider– ation of the science of astronomy and the origin of the universe. Labs will include activities in each of these subjects. Field trips will be taken to learn about the local geology. Four lectures and one two-hour laboratory per week. (Fee: $35) GSCI-161 Principles of Physical Science-W,Su 5 hours Introductory study of the sciences of physics and chemistry with emphasis on basic concepts and principles as well as the development of foundational laws pertaining to these disciplines. Four lectures and one two-hour laboratory per week. (Fee: $35)
