2001-2002 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 ofexperience 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 optometric, chiropractic, and graduate schools.

These courses will not count toward graduation requirements for majors found in the department of science and mathematics unless they are specifically listed in the curriculum requirements for a major. A student 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 principles 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 laborat01y per week. (Fee:$50) 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: $50) BI0-216,217 Human Anatomy and Physiology I,II-A,W 5 hours each quarter 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, respirat01y, cardiovascular, digestive, urinaiy, and reproductive systems. Four lectures and one two-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: BIO-JOO Principles of Biology, or CHEM-154 Principles ofChemistry, or permission of instructor. (Fee: $50) CHEM-154 Principles of Chemistry-A 5 hours For non-science majors, an introduction to atomic structure, ionic and covalent bonding, stoichiometty, kinetic the01y, solutions and equilibria, nuclear chemistry, nomenclature, structure, and reactions of organic compounds. Four lectures and one two-hour laboratory per week. (Fee: $50) CHEM-158 Chemistry for Engineers-W 5 hours Study of the states ofmatter, energy, and chemical change. Laboratory will stress quantitative skills. Four lectures and one two– hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: high school che111ist1y and Algebra 11. (Fee: $50) GMTH-100 Intermediate Algebra-W 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. GMTH-180 Introduction to Mathematics-A,Sp 5 hours Introduction to mathematical concepts including voting theory, apportionment and fair division, models of population growth, and graph theo1y. GMTH-184 College Algebra-A,W 5 hours Introduction to methods of algebraic analysis. Includes, but may not be limited to, many topics of intermediate algebra: the field axioms, linear functions, inequalities, systems of equations, determinants, and quadratic functions. This course, in conjunction with GSCI-185, is designed to help prepare the student for calculus. Prerequisite: two years ofhigh school mathematics or permission ofinstructor. GMTH-185 Precalculus-A,Sp 5 hours Introduction to the principles of trigonometty and possibly some advanced topics in algebra. Coverage includes, but may not be limited to, trigonometric and circular functions, triangle problems, and vectors. This course, in conjunction with GSCI-184, is designed to help prepare the student for calculus. Prerequisite: GSCI-184 College Algebra.
