BIOL 1002: General Biology II (CBIO 1023)

• This course covers topics including chemical bonding, stoichiometry, aqueous solutions, and the science responsible for the origins of the chemical and physical properties of atoms, molecules, and materials. Biochemical processes of importance to human health are emphasized throughout the course. Emphasis is also on learning how to understand complex inter-connected concepts and strengthening thinking skills needed to be successful in college. [High school course code: 150419 Chemistry II: DE – CCEM 1103 Chemistry 1]
• CHEM 1001 is designed to be taught paired with the fall semester of high school chemistry. It can also be used by science, engineering, and pre-health majors to develop skills needed to be successful in the more challenging CHEM 1201 course. 

• This course is a continuation of CHEM 1001. An introduction to organic chemistry, biochemistry, thermodynamics, kinetics, equilibrium, acids and bases, and redox the chemistry of batteries. Emphasis is on learning how to understand complex inter-connected concepts and strengthening thinking skills needed to be successful in college. [High school course code: 150421 Chemistry II: DE – CCEM 1113 Chemistry II] Student must meet one of the three options for BOR student eligibility listed on page 5. LSU Prerequisite: Min grade of “C-” in CHEM 1001 

• This project-based course introduces students to the profession, ethics, and diversity within the field of engineering. Students apply the engineering design process to solve a real-world problem in each of the 10 primary concentrations within engineering by listening to guest speaker lectures, working on an interactive project with a team, and presenting the results of their project to the class.
• The majors are: Biological Engineering, Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Computer Engineering/ Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Construction Management, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Petroleum Engineering. Specifically, this course will emphasize that the engineer is a team worker who needs strong skills in technical problem solving, engineering design, ethical decision making, and communicating to diverse audiences. [High school course code: 110801 Introduction to Engineering Design]

ENGR 1050: Introduction to Engineering

• This course provides a survey of Western Civilization from its origins to approximately 1500 CE. Students will learn about the social, cultural, religious, and political history of the period. The primary goal of the course is to introduce the student to the study of History as a discipline while investigating the history of Near Eastern, Greek, Roman and Medieval civilizations. [High school course code: 220446 Western Civilization: DE – CHIS 1013 Western Civilization I]
   HIST 1003: Western Civilization since 1500 (CHIS 1023) 

• This course is a survey on the trajectory of Western Civilization from 1500 CE to the present with an emphasis on the impact of ideas and actions on Europeans and others in the world. Students will learn about religion, intellectual developments, social changes, high and popular culture, and a series of political shifts during the period. [High school course code: 220447 Western Civilization: DE – CHIS 1023 Western Civilization II]

• This course covers basic mathematical skills of graphing, formulas for geometric measurement, systems of linear equations and inequalities, review of quadratic equations, logarithms and application to exponential growth and decay, triangle trigonometry and its application to geometry and measurement. [High school course code: 160375 Algebra III]

MATH 1015: Basic Mathematics and Applications (CMAT 1203)

• This course covers mathematical approaches to practical life problems. Topics include counting techniques and probability, statistics, graph theory, and linear programing. [High school course code: 160347 Advanced Math – Functions & Statistics]

MATH 1029: Contemporary Mathematics (CMAT 1103)

• Through the LSU Virtual Math Research Circle Program, 9th – 12th grade math enthusiasts get to learn material not typically taught in a high school curriculum, traverse the complex world of college mathematics, conduct mathematical research with guidance from LSU faculty and graduate students, present a 45-minute colloquial-style poster session, hone research and communication skills through a capstone project.
• Each student project may potentially qualify as a fall science fair project, evolve into deeper research experiences with faculty, merit financial support towards future travel to conferences or for publication costs, and enhance college applications.

• This course exposes students to new ideas and cultural experiences through examining a wide range of music. The course will introduce students to a wide range of repertoires, beginning with traditions that are generally more familiar (popular, classical, Broadway, and jazz) and branch out to music of more distant cultures. The course is built around the relationship of music to such concepts as ethnicity, gender, spirituality, politics, war, or love and to such functions as Broadway, film, dance, and concert. As students explore ways in which ideas intersect with cultures across the globe, they will acquire a vocabulary enabling them to talk intelligently about music in general and, by extension, begin to understand what matters in a given culture, including ours. By reflecting on our own behaviors and by critically thinking about other musical cultures, students gain a better understanding of the value of alternative points of view. [High school course code: 030590 Fine Arts Survey: DE – CMUS 1013 Music Appreciation]

MUS 1751: Music Appreciation (CMUS 1013)

• This course carries a Ducks Unlimited Ecology Conservation & Management Certification (Industry Based Credential). [High school course code: 312090 Louisiana Wetlands Ecology]
• The iCEV online curriculum platform offers a variety of preparatory content and resources designed to prepare individuals to earn the Ducks Unlimited Ecology Conservation & Management certification. This certification verifies that individuals have obtained exceptional knowledge and skills in the areas of ecological principles and wildlife management, as well as habitat, forest, grasslands, wetlands and waterfowl conservation and management. The objective of this class is to teach students these principles in an in-person forum, facilitating expanded explanations and interaction, enabling students to pass the certification exam.[KG1]
