2004-2005 Academic Catalog

Science and Mathematics School of Engineering, Nursing, and Science 176 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 Biology......................................... 4 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. Course requirements include: Two courses (selected from): ............................................ 10 ACCT-2110 Principles of Accounting ......................... 3 BIO-1120 General Zoology ........................................ 4 BIO-2130 General Botany and Ecology ...................... 5 BIO-2210 Microbiology ............................................... 4 BIO-3300 Genetics ..................................................... 4 BUS-2150 Statistics ................................................... 3 ECON-2330, 2340 Micro and Macroeconomics ........ 6 MGMT-3500 Principles of Organization and Management ..................................................... 3 MIS-1100 Introduction to Computers ......................... 1 Humanities Electives .......................................................... 6 Social Science Elective ....................................................... 3 The agriculture science emphasis prepares students for careers including agronomy, animal science, food science, and horticulture. Course requirements include: BIO-1120 General Zoology .................................................. 4 BIO-2130 General Botany and Ecology .............................. 5 CHEM-3510, 3520 Organic Chemistry I, II ........................ 10 MATH-1720 Calculus II ........................................................ 5 MATH-3110 Probability and Statistics I ............................... 3 Biological Science Elective ................................................. 4 (or CHEM-3710 Biochemistry ........................................... 4) Humanities Elective ............................................................ 3 Social Science Elective ....................................................... 3 A medical technology option is available within the biology major. 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 com- plete 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 recommended for admission: Biology courses: BIO-1110 Introduction to Biology......................................... 4 BIO-1120 General Zoology .................................................. 4 BIO-2210 Microbiology ........................................................ 4 BIO-3300 Genetics .............................................................. 4 BIO-3420 Vertebrate Zoology .............................................. 3 (or BIO-4410 Vertebrate Embryology ................................. 3) BIO-3450, 3460 Human Structure and Function I, II........... 7 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 (or PHYS-2110, 2120 General Physics I, II ........................ 8) Note: Students who desire admission to physician assistant programs will also need to have 1000 hours or more of direct health care experience. Specific requirements vary from one program to another. Prepharmacy The prepharmacy curriculum enables a student to obtain the first three or four years of the six- or seven-year Pharm.D. program at Cedarville University. To ensure that specific course requirements 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 three or four years the prepharmacy student attends Cedarville: BIO-1110 Introduction to Biology......................................... 4 BIO-1120 General Zoology .................................................. 4 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 COM-1100 Fundamentals of Speech ................................. 3 ENG-1400 Composition ..................................................... 3 GSS-1000 Foundations of Social Science ......................... 3 MATH-1710 Calculus I ........................................................ 5 PHYS-1010, 1020 College Physics I, II ............................. 10 PYCH-1600 General Psychology ........................................ 3
