Introduction to Astronomy

In this course, students will study the physical characteristics of celestial bodies from our closest neighbor, the moon, to the most distant galaxies. Students will be able to explain how past astronomers investigated the universe and the theories they developed to explain their observations. Students will familiarize themselves with recent observations and discover the foundations for modern astronomical theories. Astronomical observations will be applied through activities, laboratories, and simulations.

College Physics

While physics can seem challenging, its true quality is the sheer simplicity of fundamental physical theories–theories and concepts that can enrich your view of the world around you. COLLEGE PHYSICS, Tenth Edition, provides a clear strategy for connecting those theories to a consistent problem-solving approach, carefully reinforcing this methodology throughout the text and connecting it to real-world examples.

Nutrition

Six of the ten leading causes of death in America are diet-related. In this course students will learn the macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats, proteins) and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals) that promote optimum health. Students will examine digestion and metabolism of food; energy balance and weight control; use of exercise as related to energy balance; how current culture influences food choices and health; and risks of obesity, diabetes, and other nutrition related, prevalent diseases. Students will design an individual, healthy diet, discuss the role of government in the education of people, use the scientific method to analyze dietary claims; and learn basic food safety and bio-engineering. Designed for students with little or no biology or chemistry background.

Business Calculus

This 5 credit course provides an interdisciplinary introduction to the core concepts of calculus with a primary focus on applications from disciplines of economics and the social sciences. The content is applications in differential, integral and multivariable calculus with an introduction to The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Learners will continue to refine their independent study skills, cooperative problem solving, logically correct and mathematically precise writing and thinking, and their ability to use geometric, symbolic and analytic formats in presenting solutions to both abstract and real world applications.

Introduction to Algebra

This course reviews arithmetic skills and introduces algebraic notation, rules and concepts. Students explore linear relationships, with an emphasis on graphing and modeling data. Simplifying expressions and solving basic equations are also discussed. Learning to study math successfully, gaining confidence in approach and accuracy, and using a variety of ways of thinking about a single situation are outcomes for learners who take this course. Applications to real life are emphasized.

English Composition II

Students learn how to develop a research process that includes creating topics and questions, searching for and evaluating a variety of sources, and synthesizing and incorporating those sources to compose original texts.

English Composition I

This course helps students learn how to make judgments and decisions about their own and others’ communication, especially in college writing. They will practice various modes of reading, developing strategies for interpreting, responding to, and making use of a wide array of texts in their own writing. They will develop and document a personalized process to compose texts that demonstrate an understanding of purpose and audience, are thoughtfully organized, achieve appropriate levels of correctness, and are crafted with specified purposes for identified audiences. This class is organized around a theme chosen by the instructor.

World Prehistory

This survey course introduces students to the origins of human diversity by tracing the origins of humanity and material culture from its ancient beginnings to the first literate societies.
