Some aspects of physical anthropology and linguistics will also be covered. Topics covered will include culture, ethnocentrism, cultural aspects of language and communication, economic patterns, kinship, sex and marriage, socialization, social control, political organization, class and caste, ethnicity, gender, religion, beliefs, and cultural change. Students will be required to engage in fieldwork experience. (Fulfills Social Science requirement)Effective Fall 2023: this is a CCSNH Access course and will display on transcripts, count as credits attempted, and count towards the cumulative grade point average for all seven colleges: Great Bay, Lakes Region, Manchester, Nashua, NHTI, River Valley, and White Mountains. Students cannot receive credit for more than one of the CCSNH Access courses or equivalents and the most recent course on the college transcript will be used in the cumulative grade point average (CGPA) calculation. For graduation residency purposes, only Access courses owned by the campus where the student is matriculated will be used to meet the requirements.

MATH171M - Pre-Calculus This course focuses on the knowledge and skills necessary for study of Calculus. Students will study: logarithmic; exponential and trigonometric functions; complex numbers, conic sections and analytic trigonometry; determine and write linear equations in several forms; explain graph functions using symmetry tests; recognize and graph functions including quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions; use function transformation techniques; perform composition and arithmetic operations of functions; find and graph inverses of functions; use properties of logarithms. Prerequisite: Satisfactory placement test scores as defined by mathematics faculty, MATH155M with a grade of “C” or better, or permissions of the instructor. Offered every semester.

BIOL120M - Human Anatomy and Physiology II This course is a continuation of Human Anatomy & Physiology I. The course includes current in-depth information of the structure and function of the endocrine, digestive, respiratory, blood, cardiovascular, lymphatic, immune, urinary, and reproductive systems. Laboratory work augments lecture topics and includes exercises in microscopy, the study of fresh and preserved specimens, models, and physiological measurements on the human body.

ENGL110XM - College Composition I - Corequisite College Composition I introduces students to the practice of academic writing and research. A review of critical reading and thinking skills is included as an essential foundation to academic understanding and inquiry. Students conduct intensive research on a contemporary problem, grounding themselves in its context, causes, and possible solutions to produce a documented Central Course Essay. Research methods covered include locating, integrating, and citing source materials as well as appropriate use of quotes, paraphrases, and summaries. Basic information literacy skills such as evaluating sources for credibility and identifying mis/dis/mal-information, particularly in online materials, are emphasized. Writing is approached as an iterative process that engages various stages and employs a variety of rhetorical approaches to produce a polished final essay.

College Composition I – Corequisite provides additional support to students who need to build stronger foundational skills through mandatory additional class time. Corequisite support may be any combination of additional instruction; application of reading, writing, and research skills; and one-on-one support from the instructor.

MATH145M - Quantitative Reasoning This course is designed to expose the student to a wide range of general mathematics. Problem solving and critical thinking skills, along with the use of technology, will be emphasized and reinforced throughout the course as the student becomes actively involved solving applied problems. Topics to be covered include Number Theory and Systems, Functions and Modeling, Finance, Geometry and Measurement, Probability and Statistics, and selected subtopics related to the student’s major field of study. Prerequisite: Successful completion of: MATH090M with a “C” or better, satisfactory placement test scores, or permission of the Program Coordinator, the Department Chair, or a full time mathematics faculty member.

BIOL108M - College Biology I This course is an in depth college-level course designed for students who intend to continue studying life science as their major area of study. It will cover the chemistry of cells including cellular respiration, photosynthesis, DNA, RNA, protein synthesis and enzymes. Also included is the study of the cell, its components, mitosis and meiosis, Mendelian and molecular genetics. Prerequisites: High School Biology and Chemistry with a C or better and placement into ENGL 110M or permission of the instructor. (Fulfills lab science elective.)

NURS112M - Nursing II: NH Hospital The student develops competence to provide and manage care for patients and their families across the life span in structured health care settings.
