  • PHY 250: Select Topic/Natural Science

    1.00 Credits
    Lehigh Carbon Community College

    An interdisciplinary science course designed to introduce students to various topics within the natural sciences. Topics will be selected at the instructor's discretion and generally vary each semester. Possible themes include the human genome project, string theory, stem cell research, history of science, endocrine disruption, global environmental issues, fad diets, Nobel laureates, genetically engineered products, human sexuality, quantum mechanics, or issues in pharmacology. Students may repeat this course for credit, provided that they do not enroll in semesters featuring the same theme: their transcripts will list the second enrollment as BIO/CHE/PHY 251.
