2002-2003 Academic Catalog

Science and Mathematics School of Engineering, Nursing, and Science 170 The preagriculture curriculum is designed to satisfy the technical and nontechnical requirements of the first two years of a typical agriculture program. Students should research agricul- tural schools to which they wish to transfer at the junior level so that application materials can be completed in advance of deadlines.The preagriculture students should confer with their advisor to select electives based upon the following criteria: • The requirements of the school to which they will transfer after leaving Cedarville University. • The specific agricultural program they wish to enter. Course requirements include core requirements and an emphasis in either agriculture business or agriculture science. Core requirements include: BEGE-1710 Christian Life and Thought ............................. 3 BEGE-1720 Spiritual Formation .......................................... 3 BIO-1110 Introduction to Cell Biology ................................. 5 CHEM-1110 General Chemistry I ....................................... 4 ENG-1400 Composition ...................................................... 3 GMTH-1030 Precalculus ..................................................... 4 (or MATH-1710 Calculus I ................................................ 5) GSS-1000 Foundations of Social Science .......................... 3 HUM-1400 Introduction to the Humanities .......................... 3 The agriculture business emphasis prepares students for careers in the industry and business phases of agriculture.

The student must spend one year in a hospital internship program to become a certified medical technologist. Prerequi- sites to the hospital internship include: 16 hours of biology, 16 hours of chemistry, one mathematics course, and completion of all General Education Requirements. Students may do an internship during their senior year with 32 hours of transfer credit applied to the biology major upon successful completion of the internship. Many students complete the requirements for a biology major first and then take the internship after graduation from Cedarville University. Predental, Premedical, Preoptometric, Preosteopathic, and Preveterinary Medicine Cedarville University students have been successful in gaining admission to medical and professional schools. For many of these schools, no specific major is required; however, students typically choose majors in biology or chemistry. In addition to general degree requirements, the following courses are recom- mended for admission: The following courses are usually required by the professional colleges: Biology courses: BIO-1110 Introduction to Cell Biology ................................. 5 BIO-1120 General Zoology and Population Dynamics ...... 5 BIO-2210 Microbiology ........................................................ 4 BIO-3300 Genetics .............................................................. 4 BIO-3420 Vertebrate Zoology ............................................. 4 (or BIO-4410 Vertebrate Embryology ................................. 4) BIO-3450, 3460 Human Structure and Function I, II ........... 6 BIO-4710 Principles of Bioethics ......................................... 3 (or BIO-3770 Pathophysiology ........................................... 3) Chemistry courses: CHEM-1110, 1120 General Chemistry I, II .......................... 8 CHEM-3510, 3520 Organic Chemistry I, II ........................ 10 CHEM-3710 Biochemistry ................................................... 4 Additional courses: MATH-1710, 1720 Calculus I, II ........................................ 10 PHYS-1010, 1020 College Physics I, II ............................. 10 Note: Students who desire admission to Physician Assistant programs will also need to have 1000 hours or more of direct health care experi- ence. Specific requirements vary from one program to another. Prepharmacy The prepharmacy curriculum enables a student to obtain the first two or three years of the five- or six-year pharmacy program at Cedarville University. To ensure that specific course require- ments may be met through Cedarville courses, the student should select the pharmacy college he or she plans to attend as early as possible and obtain a catalog describing the specific course requirements. Generally the following courses should be included in the two or three years the prepharmacy student attends Cedarville: BIO-1110 Introduction to Cell Biology ................................. 5 BIO-1120 General Zoology and Population Dynamics ...... 5 BIO-2130 Botany and Ecology ............................................ 5 BIO-2210 Microbiology ........................................................ 4 BIO-3450 Human Structure and Function I ......................... 3 CHEM-1110, 1120 General Chemistry I, II ......................... 8 CHEM-3510, 3520 Organic Chemistry I, II ........................ 10 MATH-1710 Calculus I ........................................................ 5 PHYS-1010, 1020 College Physics I, II ............................. 10 COM-1100 Fundamentals of Speech ................................. 3 ENG-1400 Composition ...................................................... 3 GSS-1000 Foundations of Social Science .......................... 3 PYCH-1600 General Psychology ....................................... 3
