Accelerated Science Program Courses
The Accelerated Science Program (ASP) is designed to help you complete your basic science coursework at a faster pace. Highly concentrated, the accelerated program requires a commitment of 16-20 hours of study time per week, per subject. A maximum of two ASP courses per eight-week session is allowed. Each course is eight weeks in length and is taught either in the first half or the second half of the session.
UG04210_02/UG04210L02 Human Biology I Lecture/Lab 3/1 Cr.
Offered first half of all terms. A study of the organization and function of the human body, incorporating basic biological principles of the human organ systems. Emphasis is on basic organization of the body, and the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. Accompanying laboratory includes detailed study of skeletal, muscular and nervous systems and provides experience in human cadaver dissection. Prerequisite: General Chemistry.
UG04310_02/UG04310L02 Human Biology II Lecture/Lab 3/1 Cr.
Offered second half of all terms. Continuation of Human Biology I, emphasizing the circulatory, lymphatic, immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary endocrine, and reproductive systems. Accompanying laboratory includes detailed study of the circulatory system and blood and provides experience in human cadaver dissection. Prerequisite: Human Biology I or equivalent.
