The main focuses of the course include basic epidemiological concepts and methods including design of descriptive, analytical and experimental studies and application of epidemiology in environmental and occupational settings. Students will also learn about identifying sources of data, and how to evaluate published epidemiological literature.
Environmental and Occupational Toxicology

North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University

Environmental health is associated with recognizing, assessing, understanding and controlling the impacts of people in their environment and the impacts of the environment on the public health. The science of environmental health spans a wide range of topics, requiring the use of multidisciplinary approaches to study the impact of environmental factors on human health. Toxicology, a major component of environmental health, can be broadly defined as the science that explores how drugs and chemicals adversely affect human health. Student enrolled in this course will learn the basic principles of toxicology as they apply to human health. Topics will include activation and detoxification of drugs and chemicals, cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in toxic responses elicited by chemicals, and basic concepts of carcinogenesis and mutagenesis. Effects associated with specific classes of chemical agents that are likely to induce injury and/or pose significant potential for human exposure will be presented. In addition, the concept of how human risk is estimated from xenobiotic exposure will be introduced.

Foundations of Trauma Informed Care & Crisis Management

North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University

This course prepares students to learn about the prevalence of different types and diagnostic criteria for trauma across populations and the fundamental aspects of trauma informed care as a best practice philosophy to counseling and service provision.
General Microbiology

North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University

This is an introduction to the basic principles of microbiology. Microbial ultrastructure, growth, metabolism, molecular genetics, diversity, infectious diseases, and immunology will be discussed. The laboratory introduces students to the principles of microscopy, specimen preparation for light microscopy, aseptic techniques, cultivation techniques, and the biochemical activities of microorganisms.
Global Business Management

North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University

Global Business Environment provides students with both an understanding of the fast- changing global society and an awareness of the challenges and opportunities in the global economy. It provides approaches to understanding international relationships among nations (the political, socio-cultural, legal, economic and technological factors influencing international operations). Emphasis is placed on the cultural challenges of global business as well as maintenance of a global perspective in all business decision making.
Heat Transfer

North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University

The course covers the fundamentals of heat conduction, convection, radiation, boiling and condensation, and heat exchangers. Design and safety aspects of heat transfer equipment are covered.
Human Anatomy and Physiology for Kinesiology

North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University

This course explores the biological structure and function of the human body in a systems-based approach, with emphasis on the interrelationships between form and function at the gross and microscopic levels of organization. Primary emphasis will be placed on the muscular, skeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous systems, with added coverage of the metabolic, endocrine, integumentary, and immune systems related to exercise. This course is designed to emphasize selected concepts necessary to study sport, exercise, and physical activity in a variety of settings.
Human Anatomy and Physiology II

North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University

This course is a continuation of BIOL 450 and expands a comprehensive study of the anatomy and physiology of the human body with an emphasis on health and medical issues.
