COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
GEOG 111 - 4 credits : Investigates the problem-solving potential and societal implications of maps and location technologies, including online maps, GPS, geographic information systems (GIS), Google Earth, and virtual reality. Discusses critical map reading, privacy, and mapping for social justice. GEOL 108 - 4 credits : Exploration of the earth’s mineral end energy resources, how they are formed, harnessed, and the environmental impacts of their extraction and use. GEOL 302 - 4 credits : Introduction to Earth’s climate and the hydrologic cycle through study of the ocean-atmosphere system. Chemical and physical changes will be studied over times scales ranging from millions of years to days. Will include fieldtrip. Prerequisite: sophomore standing or above. IEM 302 - 4 credits : The course examines the physical principles behind climate change scienceand how they relate to energy and resource use on our planet. Emphasis placed on examining how energy decisions impact past, present, and future climates. IT 105 - 4 credits : This course will expose students to the potential threats being thrust upon them daily by simply using the Internet and how to neutralize or greatly reduce these risks. IT 111 - 4 credits : Examines impact of online activities on personal, academic, and professional lives, plus the global impact of technology and our interactions with that technology. Maintain and leverage digital footprints, critically evaluate online content, and cultivate e-professionalism. IT 202 - 4 credits: Learn to maximize software applications and collaborative tools to support community and civic projects. Emphasis on using technology to facilitate project design, organization, communication, presentation, and building stakeholder support. MATH 210 - 5 credits : The statistical revolution has dramatically changed how our society makes decisions. This course will examine how statistics is used in diverse fields and current ethical and social issues surrounding the use of statistics and data. Does not count towards the Mathematics minor. Prerequisite: Appropriate placement score or Math 100B with a grade of C or higher or a higher level math class. NUTR 101 - 5 credits : Fundamental nutritional concepts as related to health. Four hours lecture and one hour discussion per week.
PHYS 304 - 4 credits : This is an online interdisciplinary course focusing on life’s origins and the potential for life in our solar system and beyond. It will be taught at a level suitable for non-science and non-math majors. Prerequisite: Sophomore standing or above. PUBH 320 - 4 credits : Examines environments, agents, and outcomes related to human and ecosystem health. Explores basic toxicology and environmental epidemiology principles; behavioral, social, economic, and political factors; scientific and technological advances; and sustainability issues and strategies. SCED 103 - 5 credits : Inquiry-based investigations into physical science to help students develop understanding of fundamental concepts and the process of scientific investigation. This course is designed for prospective K-8 teachers but is suitable for all students. SHM 102 - 5 credits : Explore the fundamental concepts of occupational health, including identification of health hazards in the work place, prevention of work place injuries and illnesses, human factors, and environmental health as it relates to the workplace. STP 201, 202: Must take both STP 201 - 2 credits :Inquiry Approaches to Teaching Description: An introduction to theory and practice for effective math and science teaching in grades K-12. This field- based career exploration course enables candidates to observe and identify essential components of content, equity, and professional practice. Course will be offered every year (Fall and Winter). Formerly STP 301, students may not receive credit for both. Prerequisite: current WSP/FBI fingerprint clearance. STP 202 - 2 credits :Inquiry Based Lesson Design This field-based course builds on knowledge and skills developed in Inquiry Approaches to Teaching, emphasizing middle school learners. Candidates adapt and teach lessons that implement essential components of content, equity, and professional practice. Course will be offered every year (Winter and Spring). Formerly STP 302, students may not receive credit for both. Prerequisite: a grade of C or higher in STP 201 and current WSP/FBI fingerprint clearance.
