NURS111M - Nursing I: CMC-E100 Students begin learning the roles of the Associate Degree Nurse as a provider and manager of care and member of the discipline of nursing. Students develop beginning intellectual, interpersonal and psychomotor competencies to assess well patients and patients with common actual or possible alterations in health. The roles of the nurse, communication theory, life span development, ethical-legal standards, and nursing process are basic concepts to the practice of nursing for the Associate Degree Nurse. Students are introduced to the concept that the person is a system in dynamic interaction with the internal and external environments. The eleven Functional Health Patterns organize the study of concepts common to a basic knowledge of the patient's state of wellness and possible or actual health problems. The Learning laboratory provides opportunities to practice nursing skills in simulated activities. Clinical learning provides experiences to practice nursing by caring for well patients or patients with common basic health problems in structured health settings – long term/sub-acute care.

MATH202M - Probability and Statistics In this course students study various topics including basic measure of central tendency and variability, frequency distributions, probability, the binomial distribution, the normal distribution, sampling of distributions, estimation of parameters, confidence levels and hypothesis testing, non-parametric tests, simple regression and correlation analysis. Prerequisites: Satisfactory placement test scores as defined by the mathematics faculty or successful completion of the course: MATH145M with a grade of “C” or better, satisfactory placement test scores, or permission from the Mathematics Program Coordinator, the Department Chair, or a full time mathematics faculty member.

BIOL110M - Human Anatomy and Physiology I This is a comprehensive course in the anatomy and physiology of the human body. It presents current in-depth information in basic molecular and cell biology as well as human cells, tissues, and organ systems. This first of two courses includes molecular biology which covers DNA and RNA structure and the formation of proteins, as well as basic cellular respiration. It encompasses the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and sensory systems. Laboratory work augments lecture topics and includes the study of fresh and preserved specimens, models, microscopy and human physiology. Prerequisites: Successful completion (grade C or better) of high school level Biology and Chemistry or permission of the instructor.
