The typical course of instruction may include:

BIOS-251 thru BIOS-256: Anatomy & Physiology I-IV with Lab:

This is a four-course sequence in which human anatomy and physiology are studied using a body systems approach. Coursework emphasizes interrelationships between form and function at the gross and microscopic levels of organization.

Topics include:

1. Basic anatomical and directional terminology, muscle tissues, fundamental concepts and principles of cell biology, history and the integumentary and skeletal systems
2. Fundamental concepts and principles of the muscular and nervous systems, special senses and the endocrine system
3. Cardiovascular, immune and respiratory systems
4. Digestive, urinary and reproductive systems

BIOS-242 thru BIOS-271: Microbiology with Lab:

This course is the first in a two-course sequence addressing basic foundations of chemistry and microbiology, using an integrated approach. Through total integration and problem-solving approaches, aspects of the two disciplines are emphasized. Topics include basic chemistry, with introduction to organic and biochemistry; microbial classification and genetics; and cellular structure and function. 

CHEM-120: Introduction to General, Organic & Biological Chemistry with Lab:

This is a survey course that covers the lower division chemistry disciplines of general and organic chemistry and introduces the upper division discipline of biochemistry. The general chemistry section of the course seeks to build an understanding of basic chemical processes and states of matter by starting with the definition of matter and progressing through the atom, molecules, intermolecular interactions, chemical equations, and accounting. The organic chemistry section presents the major categories of organic compounds, including saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons and oxygen- and nitrogen-containing compounds. In the biochemistry portion, students are exposed to the four major biological  acromolecules with some coverage of enzymes and the central dogma of biology. Lab exercises relate to topics discussed.

The face-to-face interaction in lab and classroom is blended with technology such as online discussions and graded assignments, for an enhanced learning environment.
