• HLTH 444: A study of epidemiology, the basic science of public health. Epidemiology will be viewed as: 1) a quantitative basic science built on sound research methods; 2) a method of causal reasoning based on developing and testing hypotheses pertaining to the occurrence and prevention of morbidity (disease) and mortality (death); and 3) a tool for public health action to promote and protect the public’s health.
• HLTH 491: An introduction to the world of public, corporate and private foundations. Topic research, organizational communications, protocol, budget development and grant writing are emphasized skill areas.
• HLTH 380: The study of the process of aging and the interrelationships among the five dimensions of health as they relate to aging. Emphasis is placed on health promotion and disease prevention at all ages as the path to living a full life in the later years.
• HLTH 221: An examination of the structure, function, and pathology of the various body systems and their roles, relevance, and applications in health and illness.

The following topics are covered: introduction to the human body; the chemistry of life; the cells, tissues, and organization of the body; the blood; the cardiovascular system; the lymphatic system; the nervous system; the special senses; the endocrine system; and the respiratory system.
• HLTH 222: A continuation of HLTH 221 that examines the structure, function, and pathology of the various body systems and their roles, relevance, and applications in health and illness. The course will employ virtual interactive cadaver dissection technology. The following topics are covered: introduction to nutrition; the digestive system; the urinary system; the skin; resistance and immunity; the musculoskeletal system; introduction to genetics; and the reproductive systems.
• HLTH 252: An examination of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs effects upon the individual, school and community.
• HLTH 301: This course provides core information about the Health Education discipline.
