Courses

Focuses on the study of cells and tissues of the human body with emphasis on those tissues that compose the head, neck, and oral cavity. Topics include: cellular structure and organelles; histology of epithelium; histology of connective tissue; histology of muscle tissue; histology of nerve tissue; histology of oral mucosa and orofacial structures; embryological development of the head and neck; tooth development; and development of tooth supporting structures.

Focuses on the diseases affecting the oral cavity and pharmacology as it relates to dentistry.

The study of instrumentation, orchestration, and arranging techniques for instrumental and vocal ensembles. Projects use traditional methods and the current tools of music technology.

Modeling with and solutions of ordinary differential equations, including operators, Laplace transforms, and series; systems of ODE's, and numerical approximations.

Introduces students to organic and biochemistry. Topics include naming organic compounds, reactivities of organic functional groups, and the structure and function of biomolecules such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids and enzymes.

The first course of a two semester sequence which provides a broad introduction to the basic principles, theories and applications of the chemistry of carbon compounds. Topics will include modern structural theory, organic nomenclature, stereochemistry, reaction mechanisms and kinetics, and an introduction to functional group chemistry. Also covers the interpretation of IR, NMR, and mass spectroscopy for the structure determination of organic compounds. CHEM 2411L may be taken concurrently.

This course provides instruction on the organic chemistry of alkanes, alkenes and their substitution products, reactions, nomenclature, functional groups and electron structure.

The second course will systematically explore reactions of carbon-containing compounds and the mechanistic pathways involved in these processes. Reactions that will be discussed include functional group transformations, oxidation, reductions, cycloadditions and carbon-car-bon bond formation. The course begins to teach the student how to systematically design a multi-step synthesis of complex organic compounds. CHEM 2422L may be taken concurrently.

This course covers a wide variety of medicinal drugs, their actions in the body, and ultimately their metabolism and excretion.
