The Academic Preparation & Placement Program supports UK students in meeting college readiness benchmarks in Reading & Writing and prepares them to be successful in their major. By the end of this course students will demonstrate college readiness through the development of transferable skills necessary for success across disciplines and within their major. Specifically, students will be able to process, retain, and analyze multiple texts as a key process in producing well-constructed composition and communication assignments within future coursework.

This course permits the offering at the introductory level of special courses of an interdisciplinary, topical, or experimental nature. Each proposal must be approved by the Associate Provost for Undergraduate Education. A particular title may be offered at most twice under the UK 100 number. Students may not repeat under the same title. Prereq: will be set by the instructor.

Residency credit for dissertation research after the qualifying examination. Students may register for this course in the semester of the qualifying examination. A minimum of two semesters are required as well as continuous enrollment (Fall and Spring) until the dissertation is completed and defended.

Exploration and study of a particular style and/or genre of dance technique.

An independent experimental research project for 3-6 credits in a contemporary area of Toxicology or Cancer Biology, under the mentorship of a department faculty member. May be repeated up to a maximum of 12 credits. A course research contract agreed to by the student and faculty mentor must be approved by the Course Coordinator (who is the Instructor of Record).

Principles of Toxicology is a course for students in the biological and health sciences and others interested in understanding the major principles of toxicology and the consequences of toxins on human health and the environment. The course describes how different organs in the body respond to and biochemically metabolize toxins, the wide range of toxic agents present in the environment from pesticides to radiation, how the genome is effected by exposures, and special problems in toxicology that effect the world.

The course provides students with 'hands-on' experience in research methods used to solve toxicological problems. Students will be under the direction of a GCT faculty member, who will supervise the student's efforts on a research project. The student will be trained not only in the 'hands-on' techniques but also in how to independently design and interpret research experiments. Students will prepare a final report on their research project, which will be designed to provide instruction and training in preparing 'publication-style' research reports.

Presentation of basic and advanced concepts to provide an integrated description of toxicology, its scope, the unique application of principles that characterize it as a science, and its professional practice. Emphases will include an extensive treatment of relationships between toxicology and environmental exposures and the influence of federal regulations on the practice of toxicology.

This course is an introduction to the science of environmental pollution with an emphasis on fate and transport of contaminants and adverse effects on biological systems. Pollutants covered include metals, pesticides, organics, radionuclides, nanomaterials, and nutrients. The course covers physiological and toxicological effects of chemicals on natural biota, including considerations at cellular, organismal, population, community, and ecosystem levels.
