ASC  101   Human Anatomy and Physiology w/Lab.  This course is an introductory study of body systems, structures and functions.  Emphasis is placed on means of protection, support and movement through a comprehensive study of the nervous, skeletal and muscular systems.  This course explores the relationship between the systems.  This course is intended to be taught at the Jefferson City campus.  4 credit hours.

**PHY  100   Physical Science.  This lecture-demonstration-laboratory survey of the physical sciences is designed for the student with a limited science background.  Students should learn about the scientific method and its application with special emphasis on scientific principles encountered in our everyday interactions with our environment.  This course is intended for off-campus locations.  Prerequisite:  MAT 050 with a grade of “C” or better or SPM 050 with a passing grade.  4 credit hours.

**PHY  101   College Physics.  This algebra based physics course has topics that may include, but are not limited to, measurement, force, work and energy, matter, fluids, gasses, heat, light, and selected topics in modern physics.  Prerequisite:  EMS 116 or MAT 070 with a grade of “C” or better or SPM 070 with a passing grade.  Concurrent:  PHY 102.  4 credit hours.

**PHY 102   College Physics Lab.  This algebra based physics lab course has topics that may include, but are not limited to, measurement, force, work and energy, matter, fluids, gasses, heat, light, and selected topics in modern physics.  Prerequisite:  EMS 116 or MAT 070 with a grade of “C” or better or SPM 070 with a passing grade.  Concurrent:  PHY 101.  0 credit hours – all credit given in PHY 101.

**PHY 103   Environmental Science.  This is an interdisciplinary science course consisting of the study of environmental problems and possible alternative solutions to those problems.  Interrelationships and their basis for personal decision making are stressed.  Man and his relationship to issues such as the environment, energy, land use, water and air pollution will be explored.  Prerequisites:  COM 101 or COM 110 and CPP 101 or CPP 102.  Concurrent:  PHY 104.  4 credit hours.

**PHY 104   Environmental Science Lab.  This is the science lab corresponding to Environmental Science (PHY 103).  It will consist of the study of environmental problems and possible alternative solutions to those problems.  Both qualitative and quantitative measurements involving man and his relationship to issues such as the environment, energy, land use, water and air pollution will be taken.  Prerequisites:  COM 101 or COM 110 and CPP 101 or CPP 102.  Concurrent:  PHY 103.  0 credit hours – all credit given in PHY 103.

**PHY  201   General Physics.  This calculus based traditional physics course with lab includes, but is not limited to, selected topics from classical mechanics with other material included as time permits.  Prerequisite:  MAT 122 or MAT 123 with a grade of “C” or better.  5 credit hours.

**This course meets the science general education requirement.
