Instructor: Shannon McConnell| Instructor: Travis Robb | Instructor: Stephanie Williams | | BIO115 Basic Nutrition (3) | A study of the relationship of nutrition to health of the individual as related to food and the ability of the body to utilize it.
| Instructor: Jane Freyenberger | Instructor: Sharon Lawless | Instructor: Leslie Weir | | PSC105 Introduction to Oceanography (5) | This course is designed as an introductory class in ocean studies. Topics that will be investigated include exploring the role of large water bodies in Earth systems, large water body life forms, and annual weather summaries, learning investigations keyed to ocean currents, and coastal processes.
| | PSC154 Physical Geology (5) | This course provides a basic introduction to the earth science area, and more particularly to physical geology. It is intended to meet the general education requirement for a laboratory science or to provide a first course for those interested in majors in the earth sciences or some areas of engineering.
| | PSC180 Descriptive Astronomy (3) | Prerequisites: Mandatory placement policy | The purpose of this course is to introduce the student to the science of astronomy. It will touch on physical laws and properties of the Universe, but no extensive math background is required beyond a basic understanding of algebra and trigonometry. The focus will be on rational thinking rather than on preparing students for a career in astronomy. Astronomy will simply be the tool used to help develop those thinking skills. The student will learn to observe the Universe around us and understand what those observations imply about the Universe.
| | PSC181 Descriptive Astronomy Lab (2) | Prerequisites: PSC180 (can be concurrent) | The purpose of this course is to supplement PSC180, Descriptive Astronomy. This course will introduce the student to real-world applications and principles of astronomy, and will give them experience in writing both formal lab reports and informal observing logs.
| | PSC210 Atmospheric Science (5) | This course is designed as an introductory class in atmospheric science. Topics that will be investigated include exploring weather maps, satellite/radar imagery, daily weather summaries, and learning investigations keyed to the day’s weather.
