This course studies a variety of topics in physics, drawn from the MCAT syllabus, including thermodynamics, acoustics, wave optics, electricity, magnetism, and nuclear phenomena. As in Physics 103/100, the applicable mathematics is geometry, proportion, and dimensional analysis.

Where does meaning come from, how does it work? Do different forms of expression (verbal, visual, auditory, or tactile) involve different ways of referring, of claiming what a message is about? Where do I locate the differences, how can I describe them? This class offers an introduction to key concepts in the study of meaning with a particular emphasis on narrative theory.

This course for students in the postbaccalaureate program preparing for graduate-level study in the health professions. Topics include basic principles of biodiversity, genetics, biochemistry, cell structure and function, development, anatomy, and organ systems. Laboratory exercises compliment lecture material, and are intended to develop skills in microscopy, familiarity with using a variety of lab equipment, experimental design, data collection and analysis, and scientific writing.

This seminar is based entirely on published research related to issues in marine conservation biology. It will introduce students to the latest research by leading scientists in ocean science and is highly relevant to current pressing concerns about global environmental change. The focus on primary literature and student-led discussions will help students improve their abilities to read, analyze and discuss primary literature.

In the past decade, neuroscientists have recognized that the adult brain is considerably more plastic and adaptable than previously thought. However neuroplasticity alone may not be enough to promote recovery following an injury or disorder. This plasticity must be harnessed through effective treatments, training, and therapies. Through classroom demonstrations, examination of the scientific literature, and discussion of case histories, we will explore neuroplasticity and rehabilitation from the level of neurons and synapses to that of the whole person.
