This is a course designed for students pursuing a certification in Athletic Training. The overall objective of this course is to prepare for the board of certification examination and develop professional skills including self-assessment, resume and cover letter development, and interview skills.
The objective of this course is to provide an operational understanding of the use of contemporary microscopes and the principles underlying biological imaging methods through a combination of lectures and hands- on laboratory experiences. Students will learn to use stereo and compound microscopes to image specimens using bright field, fluorescence, and enhanced contrast techniques. Students will also learn about the application of advanced microscopy methods to biological samples.

Students will learn to use stereo and compound microscopes to image specimens using bright field, fluorescence, and enhanced contrast techniques. Students will also design their own project and utilize microscopy methods to address a research question.
Study of the phonetic structure of the English language with requirement of mastery of the International Phonetic Alphabet. Emphasis will be placed on phonetic transcription of normal and disordered speech for students in communication sciences and disorders.
In this course students will apply economic theory to real world problems and concerns, learn where resources and data can be located, use statistical methods to analyze and evaluate the application of economic theory and reasoning, and gain an appreciation for the value of economic reasoning and research, while also recognizing the limitations of its application. Students will also learn to write a final paper and effectively present it to their fellow students.
With the increase in diversity in education and the global economy, it is critical that students, staff, and faculty have experience in Universal Design for Learning (UDL). UDL calls for materials that address the majority of individual needs and are accessible from the very beginning.
In 1910, J.R.R. Tolkien began construction of a fictional language of the Elves, which ultimately resulted in the creation of at least fifteen different languages and dialects. Why would someone create their own language? And how would a person begin to even do so? In this course, we will answer both questions directly, addressing the impetus for language invention and the process by which one creates a language.
Drug delivery is a multidisciplinary field that combines the expertise of engineering/pharmaceutics and medicine to design better therapies for a wide variety of diseases. This course will provide a solid foundation on the mathematical principles that underlie all drug delivery technologies. These principles will then be integrated into several delivery routes and dosage forms, including pulmonary, oral and transdermal. This combination of fundamentals and case study applications will provide a broad understanding of the origins and current state of the art in drug delivery.
Pharmaceutical Engineering is a cross-disciplinary field requiring knowledge of engineering principles, materials science, and an understanding of the unique aspects of developing active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) into finish dosage forms. Safety and bioperformance drive all decisions throughout drug discover and development. Once a lead candidate is selected, several facets of the API an finished dosage form must be considered, including chemical stability, physical stability, manufacturability, patient acceptance, and regulation.
The clinical elective in community gastroenterology is a four-week rotation that allows the student to obtain in-depth exposure to an expert preceptor in a rural area. The student will experience the day- to-day activities of this clinician in the inpatient and outpatient setting.
