Courses

This course studies participant screening, risk stratification, and exercise assessment/testing and prescription for apparently healthy, special and diseased populations.

This course emphasizes research, experimentation, advanced processes and conceptual approaches in time-based media with an additional focus on historical and contemporary forms. Students engage with and pursue a personal direction for their work. This course is repeatable for credit.

Guided Independent study or research in an area related to advanced practice nursing, population health, and/or education leadership. This course may include practicum hours.

The course is offered as professional development option for students who are graduates of the Master's programs in nursing with less than 500 clinical practicum hours. This course is designed to address deficiencies in the number of practicum hours at the Master's level and may be used to validate Master's level competencies in clinical practice (individual patients and populations of interest).

This course is designed to validate Master's level competencies in clinical and organizational leadership. The course is required for post-master's DNP students who are graduates of Master of Science in Nursing programs with less than 500 clinical hours

This course provides the opportunity for DNP students to demonstrate excellence in providing complex care and leadership in healthcare settings.

A laboratory course emphasizing application of experimental techniques to the study of learning in animal and human subjects. Topics covered include classical conditioning, instrumental (operant) learning, verbal learning, and a critical analysis of current controversial issues in learning. Fulfills the requirement for an advanced research course in psychology.

A laboratory course emphasizing application of experimental techniques to the study of perceptual processes. Included are an examination of the sensory basis of perception, psychophysics, scaling methods, and discussion of current theoretical issues in perception. Fulfills the requirement for an advanced research course in psychology.

A laboratory course emphasizing the application of experimental techniques to the study of cognition in human subjects. Among the topics covered are attention, recognition of patterns (such as speech and visual forms), imagery, storage and retrieval of information from short-term and long-term memory, and the organization of thought and language. A central theme of the course is a focus on structure and organization in these various cognitive processes.

The structural and physiological basis of neuronal functioning. Lectures will provide the necessary conceptual background as well as the empirical and practical information necessary for the experimental exercise for the week. The main concept the course will focus on is the relationship between neuronal structure and its role in neuronal functioning.
