Developmental Psychology

A standard undergraduate developmental psychology course: research methods in development, prenatal development and birth, infancy (physical, cognitive, social-emotional), early and middle childhood, adolescence, emerging and early adulthood, middle and late adulthood, death and dying, with coverage of major theories (Piaget, Vygotsky, Erikson, Bowlby, Kohlberg, Bronfenbrenner).

Human Anatomy & Physiology I

The first semester of a college human anatomy and physiology sequence: cells and tissues, integumentary system, skeletal system, muscular system, nervous system, and sensory systems.

Human Anatomy & Physiology II

The second semester of a college human anatomy and physiology sequence: the endocrine system, cardiovascular system (heart and blood vessels), lymphatic system and immunity, respiratory system, digestive system, urinary system, fluid/electrolyte/acid-base balance, and the reproductive system.

Human Development Across the Lifespan

An interdisciplinary lifespan development course covering physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development from conception through death: prenatal development, infancy and toddlerhood, early and middle childhood, adolescence, emerging and early adulthood, middle adulthood, and late adulthood — with emphasis on practical applications for nursing, education, social work, and counseling.

Medical Terminology

A foundational course in medical terminology: word roots, prefixes, and suffixes; anatomical terminology and body planes; and system-by-system terminology covering musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, nervous, endocrine, reproductive, integumentary, and special senses systems.

Microbiology

An introductory college microbiology course: microbial cell structure and function, microbial metabolism and growth, microbial genetics, virology, immunology fundamentals, pathogenesis and epidemiology, antimicrobial agents, and clinical microbiology of major bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic pathogens.

NCLEX-PN

Master the NCLEX-PN exam for practical and vocational nursing licensure covering coordinated care, safety, pharmacology, and basic nursing care.

NCLEX-RN

Prepare for the NCLEX-RN exam covering safe and effective care, health promotion, psychosocial integrity, and physiological integrity.

Nursing Fundamentals

A foundational nursing course: the nursing process (assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, evaluation), vital signs and physical assessment, infection control, safety and mobility, hygiene and comfort, nutrition and fluid balance, medication administration, wound care, documentation, and professional nursing practice including ethics and legal considerations.

Nutrition

An introductory college nutrition course: macronutrients (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins — structure, digestion, metabolism, dietary requirements), micronutrients (vitamins and minerals — functions, deficiencies, toxicities), energy balance and body composition, water and electrolytes, nutrition across the lifespan, dietary guidelines and food labeling, eating disorders, food safety, and evaluating nutrition misinformation.

Pathophysiology

An introductory pathophysiology course for health-science students: cellular injury and adaptation, inflammation and tissue repair, immune system disorders, cardiovascular pathophysiology, respiratory disorders, renal pathophysiology, gastrointestinal disorders, endocrine disorders, neurological disorders, and hematologic disorders.

Pharmacology

An introductory pharmacology course for health-science students: pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion), pharmacodynamics (receptors, dose-response, agonists/antagonists), autonomic pharmacology, cardiovascular drugs, CNS pharmacology, antimicrobial agents, anti-inflammatory drugs, endocrine pharmacology, and principles of safe medication administration.

Public Health

An introductory undergraduate public health course: foundations of public health, epidemiology basics, biostatistics for public health, social determinants of health, health behavior and promotion, environmental health, infectious disease control, chronic disease prevention, health policy and systems, and global health challenges.
