eCore

An introduction to fundamental unifying principles in biology. Topics covered in the course include: chemistry of life, cell structure and membranes, cellular functions (metabolism, respiration, photosynthesis, communication, and reproduction), genetics (inheritance patterns, DNA structure and function, gene expression, and biotechnology), and evolution. This course involves both lecture and lab components. For additional course information, visit http://ecore.usg.edu/courses/description.php

Prerequisites: ECOR with a score of C

This course covers the evolution and diversity of organisms, including microbes, protists, fungi, plants, and animals. Additional topics include body systems, the immune system, reproduction and development, and ecology. For non-biology majors only.

Prerequisites: ECOR with a score of C

First course in a two-semester sequence covering the fundamental principles and applications of chemistry designed for science majors. Topics to be covered include composition of matter, stoichiometry, periodic relations, and nomenclature. Laboratory exercises supplement the lecture material. For additional course information, visit http://ecore.usg.edu/courses/description.php. This course is taught on-line only through eCore. It is not available on campus.

Prerequisites: (ECOR with a score of C) and MATH 1111 and MATH 1113

Second course in a two-semester sequence covering the fundamental principles and applications of chemistry designed for science majors. Laboratory exercises supplement the lecture material. For additional course information, visit http://ecore.usg.edu/courses/description.php

Prerequisites: CHEM 1211 and CHEM 1211L or CHEM 1211K and MATH 1113 and ECOR with a score of C

This course is intended to provide an introduction into the field of Data Science. Students will develop skills in appropriate technology and statistical methods by completing hands-on projects focused on real-world data and addresses the social consequences of data analysis and application.

Prerequisites: (MATH 1101 or MATH 1111 or MATH 1113 or MATH 1501 or MATH 1401 or A02 with a score of 18 or ACCM with a score of 070 or CPTE with a score of 070 or S15 with a score of 22.0 or S12 with a score of 480 or ACCNGM with a score of 260 or S02 with a score of 430)

This course is an interdisciplinary course integrating principles from biology, chemistry, ecology, geology, and non-science disciplines as related to the interactions of humans and their environment. Issues of local, regional, and global concern will be used to help students explain scientific concepts and analyze practical solutions to complex environmental problems. Emphasis is placed on the study of ecosystems, human population growth, energy, pollution, and other environmental issues and important environmental regulations.

This course covers Earth materials and processes. Lab included. For additional course information, visit http://ecore.usg.edu/courses/description.php
