200

This course is a comprehensive survey of human anatomy and physiology, involving exploration of all the major organ systems at a biochemical and cellular level. Upon completion, students will be able to identify the major parts of each organ system, understand the roles they play, and use professional terminology to describe physiological processes. They will develop an appreciation and understanding of homeostasis and how all the organ systems connect and function together. Ultimately, students will develop insights into how diseases impact physiology while learning about the most current issues facing medical research, the healthcare industry, and society today.

This is a co-requisite lab class to SCI 200. Students will be engaging in hands-on exploration and investigation of all the major human organ systems. Upon completion, students will be able to identify the precise location of the major parts in each organ system, understand their placement and how it relates to the roles they play, and use professional terminology to describe human anatomy. It will be in-person and employ the use of microscopes, models of the human body, a human cadaver, and/or a virtual dissection tool (like an anatomage table) to dissect specimens.

This course introduces students to the effects of human population growth, urbanization, extraction and recovery of resources, modern agriculture, and industrialization on ecosystem health. Students discuss issues of climate change, sustainability and economic development, preservation of biological diversity, and environmental policy and ethics. This course incorporates integrated lab assignments, which may require use of mobile device/phone cameras or similar technology.

This course explores essential ecological principles and examines how natural systems respond to change. Through engaging discussions and interactive activities participants will uncover meaningful parallels between ecological strategies and effective leadership practices. By the end of the course, gain valuable insights from nature to strengthen adaptability, collaboration, and problem solving in personal and professional contexts.

This course examines how climate change influences organizational strategy. Content covers climate science, ecosystem health, and how environmental shifts create risks and opportunities for workplaces and communities. Case studies and applied activities demonstrate how sustainability practices strengthen resilience, support innovation, and align long-term organizational goals. This course also includes lab activities which apply content through scientific inquiry.
