List A - Select two courses from the following
CHEMISTRY
101
GENERAL CHEMISTRY A
5.0 Units
CHEM 101 is the first course in a two-semester sequence which covers important chemistry
concepts including physical properties of matter, chemical reactions, stoichiometry,
electronic structure of atoms, quantum mechanics, chemical bonding, and the three
phases of matter. Lecture and laboratory activities are integrated into one cohesive
lecture-lab section. The latter part of the course covers solution chemistry with
emphasis on chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry. Laboratory activities
supports the above-mentioned topics, including both qualitative and quantitative analysis
of data and propagation of errors. Note: A material/lab fee may be required for this
course. Lecture 3 hours/Laboratory 6 hours. Prerequisite: 1) ENGL 100 or ESL 141.
2) MATH 90, MATH 90+, MATH 90EF, or high school algebra 2 (C" or better). 3) CHEM
110 or 1 year of high school chemistry with lab ("C" or better) and a satisfactory
score on Chemistry Placement Exam. Course Typically Offered: Winter/Spring/Summer/Fall.
Transfer Credit: CSU, UC, USC. (C-ID CHEM 110)
BIOLOGY
112
MICROBIOLOGY
5.0 Units
BIOL 112 is a study of microorganisms (algae, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and viruses).
The course includes microbial biochemistry, genetics, cellular activities, applied
uses, and the pathogenicity of these microorganisms. In the laboratory, students utilize
various staining procedures and biochemical tests to identify at least one unknown
microorganism. Note: A material/lab fee may be required for this course. Lecture 3
hours/Laboratory 6 hours. Prerequisite: CHEM 110 or CHEM 120 or equivalent and BIOL
101 or 120 or 122 or equivalent. Course Typically Offered: Fall/Spring. Transfer Credit:
CSU, UC, USC
120
HUMAN ANATOMY
5.0 Units
BIOL 120 covers the systems of the human body including microscopic and gross anatomy
of the following systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, circulatory,
respiratory, lymphatic and immune, digestive, urinary, male and female reproductive,
and endocrine. The effects of disease and aging on these systems are also included
in the course. The laboratory includes the study of tissues using the microscope,
a study of bones of the human skeleton, and the use of models to illustrate respective
systems of the human body. Dissections of a sheep brain, cow heart, and cow eye are
made to illustrate comparative parts of human anatomy. Observations are also made
of a human cadaver. This course is primarily intended for nursing, kinesiology, and
other health related majors. Note: A material/lab fee may be required for this course.
Lecture 3 hours/Laboratory 6 hours. Recommended preparation: BIOL 115 is strongly
recommended for students with a limited background in the biological sciences. Course
Typically Offered: Winter/Spring/Summer/Fall. Transfer Credit: CSU, UC, USC. (C-ID
BIOL 110B)
121
INTRODUCTION TO PHYSIOLOGY
4.0 Units
BIOL 121 covers the functions, homeostasis, and integration of the organ systems of
the human body. The organ systems studied include: integumentary, nervous, sensory,
bone, muscle, endocrine, blood, lymphatic, and immune, cardiovascular, respiratory,
urinary, digestive, and reproductive systems. Laboratory activities include using
the scientific method to predict experimental outcomes, acquire data, analyze it and
draw conclusions, and apply concepts learned in both lecture and the laboratory to
clinical pathophysiological scenarios. This course is primarily intended for Nursing,
Kinesiology, and other health related majors. Note: A material/lab fee may be required
for this course. Lecture 3 hours/Laboratory 3 hours. Prerequisite: BIOL 120 and one
of the following: CHEM 101, CHEM 110, or CHEM 120. Course Typically Offered: Fall/Spring.
Transfer Credit: CSU, UC, USC. (C-ID BIOL 120B)
