BIOSCI – BNLST

DEGREE/DIPLOMA/CERTIFICATE COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

BNLST − Business Analyst (Department: 102) BNLST-121 Business Analyst Planning and Monitoring Instruction in the multiple approaches used for performing business analysis, planning activities and ongoing communication, de fi ning scopes, process improvements, assumptions, constraints, and dependencies, and the management process. BNLST-122 Credits: 3 Business Analyst Essentials Provides insight into the business analyst role and profession. Examines career pathways, key concepts, and the underlying competencies describing the behaviors, characteristics, knowledge, and personal qualities that support the practice of business analysis. Students will also be introduced to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK) guide. BNLST-123 Credits: 3 Requirements Life Cycle Management Prioritize and trace requirements, organize large amounts of data, understand and model requirements using various analysis techniques; verify, validate and communicate the requirements. BNLST-124 Credits: 3 Elicitation Techniques Examines one of the fi ve Business Analysis Perspectives (Business Intelligence) and the tasks associated with obtaining information from stakeholders (elicitation), con fi rming the results, and communicating business analysis information with stakeholders. Introduces the business analysis elicitation techniques of surveys, interviews, observation, workshops, and benchmarking and market analysis. BNLST-127 Credits: 3 Requirements Analysis and Design Explores the key tasks of Requirements Analysis and Design that business analysts perform to structure and organize requirements discovered during the elicitation activity. Tasks include specifying and modeling requirements/designs, verifying and validating information, de fi ning requirements architecture, de fi ning solution options that meet business needs and estimating potential value for those solution options. Introduces techniques of use-cases, prototyping, non-functional requirements analysis, and acceptance and evaluation criteria. Students will also explore the fi nal perspective of Business Architecture. Credits: 3

with an investigation of the social, ethical and legal issues of genetic technology (cloning for medical and reproductive purposes, genetically modi fi ed organisms or GMOs, and who owns genetic information). Prerequisite(s): Complete one of the following courses: BIOSCI-177, NATSCI-177, CHEM-186, NATSCI-186, BIOSCI-202, NATSCI-202, CHEM-208 or NATSCI-208. BIOSCI-260 Credits: 3 Plagues, People and Power This course covers the history of infectious diseases and their impact on human society as well as how human activities have contributed to infectious disease outbreaks. It also examines the potential future impact of infectious diseases. Topics to be covered include historical diseases, emerging and re emerging infectious diseases and biological weapons. Prerequisite(s): Complete ENG-195 or ENG-201 with minimum grade of C, or a satisfactory MATC placement test score. BIOSCI-261 Credits: 3 Introduction to Pharmacology Basic principles of drug action are presented in relation to body physiology. Emphasis is placed on drugs a ff ecting the central nervous system. Laboratory exercises are included to support principles of biology, chemistry, anatomy, and human physiology. BIOSCI-269 Credits: 1 Genetics and Genomics Lab Genetics and genomics are issues that a ff ect individuals throughout their lifespan. These topics will gain even more importance as we learn more about the genetic basis of medical conditions. Therefore, anyone involved in healthcare will need an understanding about the social, ethical and legal issues of genetics and genomics as well as their underlying scienti fi c principles. This course is an adjunct to BIOSCI-259 (a two-credit lecture course that provides an overview of genetics and genomics while exploring the implications of these topics on the healthcare setting). This lab course would provide the students with the laboratory component of the technologies discussed in BIOSCI-259. Taken together, the two courses would be the equivalent of a three-credit science class with a lab. BIOSCI-280 Credits: 3 Applied Nutrition Applied Nutrition is a three-credit nutrition class for future health professionals or students who would like to get more education in nutrition and how it a ff ects our health. Topics discussed will include lifecycle nutrition and how diet a ff ects the physiology of the body, metabolism, weight management, and food choices and the development of chronic diseases (diabetes, cancer, autoimmune diseases, etc.). Prerequisite(s): Complete either BIOSCI-201, NATSCI-201, CHEM-207 or NATSCI-207.

BIOSCI-241

Credits: 4

Pathophysiology: Disease Process Pathophysiology provides students with an understanding of the relationship between the mechanisms of disease and normal physiology. Topics include alterations in cellular and genetic mechanisms, metabolic abnormalities, fl uid and electrolyte imbalance, infection, immunology and cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, respiratory and neuromuscular dysfunctions. Prerequisite(s): Complete two semesters of college anatomy and physiology BIOSCI-177 or NATSCI-177 and BIOSCI-179 or NATSCI-179 or BIOSCI-201 or NATSCI-201 and BIOSCI-202 or NATSCI-202 with minimum grade of C. BIOSCI-242 Credits: 4 Concepts of Science in Health The focus of this course is to provide a basic understanding of the most recent, scienti fi cally based, personal health information such as aging, stroke, cancer, chemical dependency, nutrition, environmental pollution and weight control. Participants analyze their own health-related behaviors and attitudes and are provided with the concepts needed to improve health and well-being. BIOSCI-257 Credits: 4 Biology I This course is the fi rst of a two-course series. This course covers chemistry as it pertains to biology, biochemical principles, cell biology, metabolism, cellular energy, genetics, molecular biology, evolution, and ecology. Prerequisite(s): Complete either CHEM-207, NATSCI-207, CHEM-211 or NATSCI-211. BIOSCI-258 Credits: 4 Biology II This course is the second of a two-course series. This course covers a survey of organisms including viruses, bacteria, protist, fungi, plants and animals. It will also cover organ systems biology in animals and speci fi cally in humans. Prerequisite(s): Complete BIOSCI-257 or NATSCI-257. BIOSCI-259 Credits: 2 Genetics and Genomics Genetics and genomics are issues that a ff ect individuals throughout their lifespan. These topics will gain even more importance as we learn more about the genetic basis of medical conditions. Therefore, anyone involved in healthcare will need an understanding about the social, ethical and legal issues of genetics and genomics as well as their underlying scienti fi c principles. This course provides an overview of genetics and genomics while exploring the implications of these topics on the healthcare setting. The fi rst part of the course concentrates on the basics of genetics and the science behind heritable characteristics. The course goes on to discuss the implications of genomics, concluding
