CHEM1202 Fundamental principles of chemistry, with emphasis on atomic and molecular structure, physical, chemical and periodic properties, stoichiometry, energetics, kinetics and equilibria of reactions, and descriptive chemistry of elements, including theory of qualitative analysis of common ions.

CHEM1203 Practical applications of the fundamental laws, theories and principles of chemistry through problem solving and laboratory experiments.

CHEM1204 Laboratory experiments emphasizing representative physical and chemical properties, synthetic and analytical techniques, and including an introduction to the qualitative analysis of the common ions.

CHEM2261 Structure and chemical properties of aliphatic and aromatic compounds of carbon, with emphasis on electronic theory, mechanisms of reaction and principles of synthesis.

CHEM2263 A laboratory course taken concurrently with CHEM 2261- Organic Chemistry I, which illustrates important principles of structure and reactivity, synthesis and analysis and structure determination of organic compounds.

PHYS1001 This course is for students in the biological sciences and premedical curricula and for nonscience majors desiring two semesters of physics. Contemporary topics such as relativity, nuclear, atomic and molecular structure follow classical topics such as mechanics, waves, heat, electricity, magnetism and light. The treatment is generally quantitative but without calculus. Fall, Spring

PHYS1011 Lab: associated with PHYS 1001 - General Physics I

PSYC1201 An introduction to basic and essential principles and practices of contemporary psychology. Topics included are psychological methods, motivation, emotion, perception, learning, thinking, problem-solving, intelligence, personality development. Fall, Spring

PSYC2210 An introduction to the basic descriptive and inferential statistic procedures that are useful to the psychologist in the design and analysis of research. Included are t test, analysis of variance, correlational and nonparametric methods. A two-hour weekly laboratory provides practical experience with these procedures. Fall

PSYC2211 An introduction to the methods of scientific experimentation in psychology by means of laboratory experiments, studies of problems in design and control of experiments and analysis of the experimental literature. A two-hour weekly laboratory will provide experience in designing, running and reporting experiments in various areas of psychology. Spring

PSYC3005 A study of the long-standing and serious forms of mental disturbance, including character disorders, brain damage, retardation and psychotic processes; central focus on classification, dynamics, symptoms and treatment, with practical experience as a companion to mental patients. Fall

PSYC3032 Topics include the study of the relationship between aspects of behavior and physiology, basic neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and the effects upon behavior by drugs, cortical lesions and internal secretions.

PSYC3331 Basic theories and principles of learning such as conditioning, retention, transfer and problem solving will be studied. Laboratory experiments will be carried out.

PSYC3333 Theories and issues in the areas of sensation and perception, with emphasis on factors affecting stimulus selection and organization; the processes of detection, discrimination and recognition; and major areas of research such as the effects of learning and motivation on perception, and the perception of time, space and motion.

PSYC3334 Study in the relationship between drugs and behavior, especially maladaptive behavior and research in human biochemical changes.

PSYC4130 This blended seminar focuses upon cutting edge developments in understanding brain functions. By definition neuroscience is interdisciplanary and internationalists scope. Topics including the biological basis of pain, intelligence, drug action, addiction, mental illnesses and genetics influences on behavior.

PSYC4447 The course intends to further the understanding of brain function and dysfunction. The course will indicate the need for proper diagnosis and therapy including counseling for various situations
