Course Descriptions
These courses have been approved for inclusion in Project Jumpstart Dual Enrollment Program.
BIO 105: Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology (4 credits)
A survey of the morphology and function of the human body. The intent of this course is to provide each student with the intellectual competence to manage his/her own health concerns; laboratory included. Prerequisite: one year high school biology.
CHM 109 General Chemistry I (4 credits)
Foundations of chemistry for Science majors. Topics include atomic structure, chemical bonding, stoichiometry, phases of matter, chemical energetics, molecular geometry; includes laboratory. Prerequisite: One year high school chemistry with at least a B grade and Algebra II.
CIS 152 Programming in Java (4 credits)
Introduction to structured programming techniques, design, and style from a specifically object oriented perspective. The laboratory component emphasizes the logical approach to problem solving through the analysis of concrete examples and programming problems. Prerequisite: Programming in C/C++.
ENG 213 Literary Discourse (4 credits)
This course focuses on the various modes and methods of reading essential to the discipline of English. Students will gain an understanding of the terminology appropriate to a wide range of critical approaches: formalist, historicist, reader-response, and feminist, among others. Special attention will be given to the close reading of a variety of genres, a valuable skill with broad and interdisciplinary applications. Recommended for English majors. Prerequisites: Interested students should meet with their dual enrollment instructor or guidance counselor to discuss preparedness. Several criteria will be taken into account; PSAT scores, overall gpa, and performance in previous English courses.
FRN 110 Elementary French I (4 credits)
Introduction to the fundamentals of the French language with intensive practice in listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Use of authentic materials, tapes, and videos.
FRN 111 Elementary French II (4 credits)

Continuation of Latin grammar; vocabulary development with emphasis on Latin roots in English; introductory readings from classical and/or ecclesiastical writers. Prerequisite: LAT 110 or Latin placement test.
MTH 140 Introduction to Statistics (4 credits)
An introduction to the basic concepts and computations used in statistical analysis as well as their application to problems in other disciplines, especially biology, business, education, and social sciences. Topics include the description of data graphically and numerically, the collection of data via samples and experiments, and the process of drawing inferences or conclusions from data. The laboratory component of the course emphasizes conceptual understanding, interpretation of statistical quantities, and written/oral communication and will require the use of mathematical software. Prerequisite: Math 100: Beginning Algebra (the equivalent to a second year of algebra)
MTH 240 Calculus I (4 credits)
Topics include relations and functions, limits, continuity, derivatives, Mean Value Theorem, extrema, curve sketching, related rates, differentiation of exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions, introduction to Integral Calculus, the fundamental theorems of Calculus, elementary methods of integration, and applications. The laboratory component of the course emphasizes mathematical modeling, problem solving, and written/oral communication and will require the use of graphing calculators and mathematical software. Prerequisite: Precalculus (Please read the course description for ODU’s Math 160 for more details).
MTH 241 Calculus II (4 credits)
Topics include a continuation of Integral Calculus, integration techniques, integration of exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, inverse trigonometric, and hyperbolic functions, applications of integration, indeterminate forms, improper integrals, parametric curves, polar coordinates, series and sequences, and applications. The laboratory component of the course emphasizes mathematical modeling, problem solving, and written/oral communication and will require the use of graphing calculators and mathematical software. Prerequisite: Calculus I.
PHY 119 College Physics I (4 credits)
An algebra-based study of mechanics: translational and rotational motion, the laws of conservation of energy and momentum, hydrostatics and hydrodynamics, and basic thermodynamics; includes laboratory. Prerequisite: Pre-calculus or one year of high school physics with B or better and math co-requisite Algebra II.
PHY 219 General Physics I (4 credits)
A calculus-aided study of mechanics: translational and rotational motion, the laws of conservation of energy and momentum, hydrostatics and hydrodynamics, and basic thermodynamics; includes laboratory. Prerequisite: Calculus or one year of high school physics with B or better and co-requisite of pre-calculus.
PSY 100 Introduction to Psychology (4 credits)
A survey course on the basic principles of psychology and their applications to human behavior and social problems. Multiple perspectives emerging from different philosophical and sociohistorical contexts are used to examine domains of human thought and behavior. Topics include research methods, human development, gender differences, learning and cognition, psychobiology, motivation, personality, abnormal behavior, methods of treatment, and the impact of social situations and culture on behavior.
SPN 110 Elementary Spanish I (4 credits)
Development of communicative competency with an emphasis on comprehension and speaking skills. Cultural content and grammatical structures introduced by text, web-based, and multimedia instructional materials. Intended for beginning level students.
SPN 111 Elementary Spanish II (4 credits)
Continuation of SPN 110 presenting more complex grammatical structures and broader communicative competencies. Prerequisite: SPN 110 or placement by Literature and Language Division placement measure.
