AMGT 450 - Organizational Supervision (4 Credit Hours)
This course is designed to provide the framework and foundation of what it takes to be a first line manager or supervisor. Students will be introduced to the many skills required of a supervisor such as planning and controlling activities to accomplish organizational goals. Areas such as communication, ethical decision-making, conflict management, interpersonal relations and employee development will be explored.
Course Prerequisites - PF 121 or PF 321, ENG 120, COMM 150 or SPCH 100, MGMT 312 or PUAD 305
AMGT 499 - Independent Study: Applied Management (1 Credit Hours)
Independent studies courses allow students in good academic standing to pursue learning in areas not covered by the regular curriculum or to extend study in areas presently taught. Study is under faculty supervision and graded on either a Pass/No Credit or a letter grade basis. (See the "Independent Studies" section of the Academic Bulletin for more details.)

ANTH 215 - Cultural Anthropology (4 Credit Hours)
This course exposes students to the principles, concepts, research methods, and applications of cultural anthropology. Students will be introduced to the wide range of variation in social and institutional arrangements found historically and cross-culturally. From language to gender roles, from bases of social stratification to causes and consequences of conformity, from the simpler life in foraging societies to the seeming-chaos in modern post-industrial societies: students will examine the enormous variation in solutions to the requisites of social life.
Course Prerequisites - PF 121 or PF 321, ENG 120
BIO 101 - General Biology (3 Credit Hours)
This course introduces fundamental principles of biology for non-science majors, with an emphasis on scientific literacy and the role of biology in everyday life. Topics include cellular structure and function, energy and metabolism, growth and development, reproduction, and basic genetics. Students examine how biological concepts inform personal, societal, and global issues, including human health, environmental sustainability, and emerging technologies. Aligned with General Education learning outcomes, the course emphasizes the development of scientific reasoning, evaluation of evidence, and the ability to interpret and communicate biological information. Students engage with scientific questions, analyze data, and apply biological knowledge to make informed decisions in real-world contexts. The laboratory component reinforces these outcomes through hands-on investigations, observation, and experimentation. Students practice data collection and analysis, develop skills in interpreting scientific results, and connect laboratory experiences to broader biological concepts and societal applications.
Course Prerequisites - PF 121 or PF 321
BIO 101L - General Biology Lab (1 Credit Hours)
A non-refundable science fee of $50 will be added upon registration.
Course Prerequisites - BIO 101
BIO 201 - Introductory Biology I (4 Credit Hours)
This course introduces the fundamental principles of biology that govern all living systems. Topics include the origin and evolution of life, cellular structure and function, bioenergetics, and the foundations of genetics. Emphasis is placed on scientific inquiry, critical thinking, and the application of biological concepts to real-world contexts. Introductory Biology I, together with Introductory Biology II, serves as a foundational sequence for science majors and pre-professional students. The laboratory component complements lecture topics through hands-on investigations, experimental design, and data analysis. Students develop essential skills in microscopy, molecular and cellular techniques, and the scientific method while reinforcing core biological concepts.
Course Prerequisites - PF 121 or PF 321, ENG 120
BIO 201L - Introductory Biology I Lab (1 Credit Hours)
A non-refundable science fee of $50 will be added upon registration.
Course Prerequisites - BIO 201
BIO 202 - Introductory Biology II (4 Credit Hours)
This course builds on foundational biological principles to examine the diversity and complexity of life across prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Topics include evolution and speciation, organismal structure and function, behavior, and ecological relationships. Emphasis is placed on understanding how biological systems interact across levels of organization and on applying scientific reasoning to contemporary biological questions. Introductory Biology II, together with Introductory Biology I, serves as a foundational sequence for science majors and pre-professional students. The laboratory component reinforces lecture concepts through hands-on investigations of organismal biology, biodiversity, and ecological processes. Students engage in observation, experimental design, and data analysis while developing practical skills in classification, field and laboratory techniques, and scientific communication.
Course Prerequisites - PF 121 or PF 321, ENG 120, BIO 201
BIO 202L - Introductory Biology II Lab (1 Credit Hours)
A non-refundable science fee of $50 will be added upon registration.
Course Prerequisites - BIO 202
BIO 207 - Zoology (4 Credit Hours)
This course examines the diversity, structure, function, and evolution of the animal kingdom. Topics include major animal phyla, comparative anatomy and physiology, developmental patterns, and evolutionary relationships among invertebrate and vertebrate organisms. Emphasis is placed on understanding how form and function are integrated across levels of biological organization and how animals interact with their environments. Students develop skills in scientific reasoning, comparative analysis, and the interpretation of biological diversity, with connections to ecology, behavior, and evolutionary biology. The laboratory component reinforces lecture concepts through hands-on investigation of animal structure and diversity. Students engage in observation, dissection, and comparative analysis, developing skills in anatomical identification, data collection, and scientific communication while adhering to appropriate laboratory safety practices.
