COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
ANTH 110 - 5 credits : Exploration of the field of biological anthropology, including humankind’s evolutionary relationships to other primate forms, the human fossil record, and on-going evolutionary processes impacting on the human species. ANTH 314 - 5 credits : Survey of genetic, physiological, and morphological diversity of modern human populations, with a focus on how humans’ biological variation interacts with culture to enable adaptation to various ecological settings. Prerequisite: sophomore standing or above. BIOL 101 - 5 credits : Introduction to scientific inquiry and basic principles of biology at molecular, cellular, organismal, community, and ecosystem levels as applied to humans, society, and the environment. Four hours lecture and one two-hour laboratory per week. May not be counted toward a major or minor in the department of biological sciences. BIO 200 - 5 credits : In this course, students will develop a broad knowledge base about plants, their life processes and ways in which humans are dependent on plants and their products. The course includes inquiry-driven laboratory and field observations. May not be counted toward a major or minor in the department of biological sciences. CHEM 111 - 4 credits : Chemical principles of the compositions, structure, properties, and changes of matter. Designed for students in certain health science programs. Four lectures weekly. CHEM 111LAB - 1 credit : Introduction to basic chemistry techniques. Two hours laboratory weekly. Co- or prerequisite: CHEM 111. CHEM 113 - 4 credits : Structure, properties, and metabolism of biomolecules. Prerequisite: CHEM 112 with a grade of C- or higher. CHEM 113LAB - 1 credit : Supports CHEM 113 lecture. Two hours of laboratory weekly. Co- or prerequisite: CHEM 113. Prerequisite: CHEM 112LAB with a grade of C- or higher. CHEM 181 - 4 credits : This course introduces chemistry concepts such as atoms and molecules, stoichiometry, solution chemistry, thermochemistry, electronic structure of the atom and periodicity, and chemical bonding. Prerequisites: [Satisfactory score on math placement exam or completion of MATH 100C or higher*] or [completion of CHEM 110 with a passing grade (CR)] or [CHEM 111 with a grade of C- or higher]. High school chemistry is strongly encouraged.
CHEM 181LAB - 1 credit : This laboratory supports hands-on, inquiry-based approaches to exploring topics presented in CHEM 181. Three hours of laboratory weekly. Co- or prerequisite: CHEM 181. DHC 180 - 4 credits : Variable topic. Courses in this area study physical and life systems, provide basic methods for rigorously describing the natural world, or treat social, economic, technological, ethical, or other implications of natural phenomena. May be repeated for credit under a different topic. Formerly DHC 160, students may not receive credit for both. Prerequisite: admission to the Douglas Honors College. ENST 201 - 5 credits : Introduction to the concept of our planet as a finite environment with certain properties essential for life and will explore dynamic nature of the earth’s physical, chemical, geological, and biological processes and their interrelated “systems”. EXSC 154 - 5 credits : This course is 5-credits, a lecture (4 hours) and in-person laboratory (2 hours), that analyzes and evaluates current theories and practices related to healthy living, focusing on translating theory to practice. GEOG 107 - 5 credits : The complex weather, climate, water, landforms, soils, and vegetation comprising Earth’s physical environments over space and time. Incorporates map interpretation and scientific analysis in understanding various landscapes and human impacts upon those landscapes. GEOL 101 - 4 credits : An introduction to geology emphasizing the origin and nature of the common rocks, plate tectonic theory, earthquake and volcanoes, and geologic time. C o- or prerequisite: GEOL 101LAB. GEOL 101LAB - 1 credit : Application of map study to geological processes and land forms, identification of rocks and minerals, and local field trips. Two hours laboratory per week. GEOL 103 - 4 credits : Fundamentals of geology applied to the state of Washington. Topics include Washington’s volcanic, earthquake, tectonic, and glacial activity. Corequisite: GEOL 101LAB. GEOL 107 - 4 credits : The role of natural geologic processes in shaping the earth’s surface; includes hydrologic cycle, rivers and flooding, landslides, coastal processes, and climate cycles. Four hour lecture per week plus required field trips.
