Course Title: FUNDAMENTALS OF MICROBIOLOGY
Number: SH322
With lab
This college course addresses bacterial diseases of humans; physical
and
chemical means to control microorganisms; and microbiology's relevance
to
key public health issues, among other topics. The course introduces the
student to microorganisms and their role in disease, health, foods, and
the
environment. Students develop an understanding of the infectious
process,
disease symptoms, treatment, and preventative measures for a broad
spectrum
of illnesses caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. In
addition,
examples in which microorganisms benefit man in industry and in nature
are
discussed. Students should have completed an introductory level biology
course prior to enrollment, or be taking one concurrently. 3 semester

Course Title: BASIC ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
Number: SH325
No lab
Basic Anatomy and Physiology is intended for students who are
considering careers in the field of health sciences. In this college
course, you will study the structures and functions of the major
systems of the human body. The inner workings of the body are studied
