SC BIO 1050/1055 - Human Biology and Lab

IVC - Human Biology is the study of the human species at the levels of organization from the atomic through the biosphere. Emphasis is placed on the major organ systems, health issues, genetics, evolution, and man's interaction with the environment as related to the biology of humans and the quality of life. This course is for students whose major course of study is not in the sciences. This course will partially satisfy the Natural Science GE requirement (LS). While not required, it is recommended that BIOL1055 (Human Biology Lab) is taken concurrently.

Grade: 10th-12th, 10th grade must get approval from their counselor

Length: Semester

Credit: 1.0 Core or Elective Science and 3 Concurrent Enrollment credits

Fee: Snow College CE Fees apply

SC CHEM 1110/1115 - Elementary Chemistry and Lab

IVC - This course introduces individuals to a variety of chemistry-related knowledge and experience. As a general education course, it relates chemistry to the real world experience and gives the student an opportunity to investigate chemical principles in their life. The course serves as a prerequisite to programs related to allied health such as nursing, economics, biology, natural resources, and others. The course also serves as a preparatory course for general chemistry. Some topics in the course are atomic structure, chemical calculations, energy and matter, gas laws, nuclear chemistry and an introduction to organic chemistry.

Prerequisites - Math 1, 2, 3 with a C or better and 23 or higher on ACT Math

SC PHSC 1000 - Interdisciplinary Physical Science

IVC - This course is designed to give non-majors a glimpse at how physics, chemistry, geology, meteorology, and astronomy relate to the world around them. It does this by using a conceptual approach to and demonstrations of the most significant and universal laws and models describing the physical world. The course also shows how the different disciplines in the physical sciences overlap and contribute to each other.
