126 BH 414 3 credits Emotional and Behavioral Pathology The goal of this course is to challenge the student to develop an in-depth and working knowledge of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) classification of mental disorders. Knowledge will be expanded from a prerequisite course Origins of Mental Illness and students will learn to utilize the current DSM to formulate multi-axial diagnostic impressions of mental disorders. The course emphasizes a focused and therapeutic approach to conducting diagnostic interviews and assessments while learning to identify and classify presenting psychiatric symptomatology and record their findings in a professionally acceptable format. Prerequisite: BH 202. Â
BIOLOGY The biology program aims to develop, in students, an appreciation for and knowledge of the fundamental principles of biology necessary to prepare them for: professional schools, such as medical, dental and pharmaceutical science (See the LECOM Partnership below); medical laboratory science; graduate study and research; and those techniques used in teaching biological science at the secondary school level.
