This will require us to move beyond the narrow focus of health and illness as biological processes. We will explore medicine as a cultural system and learn to unpack the complexities of specific medical systems (such as biomedicine) and consider how different medical systems can be seen to complement one another. We will look at historical and political processes that have shaped individuals’ quality of life and critically explore the social structures that prevent the eradication of global health concerns.

	COMP 1100 - Internet History, Tech and Security 3 Credit(s) The impact of technology and networks on our lives, culture, and society continues to increase. The very fact that you can take this course from anywhere in the world requires a technological infrastructure that was designed, engineered, and built over the past sixty years. To function in an information-centric world, we need to understand the workings of network technology. This course will open up the Internet and show you how it was created, who created it, and how it works. Along the way we will meet many of the innovators who developed the Internet and Web technologies that we use today. After this course you will not take the Internet and Web for granted. You will be better informed about important technological issues currently facing society. You will realize that the Internet and Web are spaces for innovation, and you will get a better understanding of how you might fit into that innovation. If you get excited about the material in this course, it is a great lead-in to taking a course in Web design, Web development, programming, or even network administration. At a minimum, you will be a much wiser network citizen.
	COMP 1101 - Programming for Everyone I 3 Credit(s) This course, built in collaboration with Google, provides a gentle, but thorough, introduction to programming using Python. You will learn the core concepts and techniques needed to create programs and perform basic data analysis. By the end of this course, you’ll be ready to pursue further study in computer science and unlock more advanced programming courses. This online class has optional live sessions.
	COMP 1102 - Programming for Everyone II 3 Credit(s) This course teaches students about the fundamentals of data access, data management, and expands upon the topics learned in CSC II. In the first half of the course, students will learn how to leverage their Python skills to treat the internet as a source of data. Students will work with HTML, XML and JSON data formats in Python. The second half of the course introduces students to the fundamentals of Structured Query Language (SQL) and database design as part of a multi-step data gathering, analysis and processing effort. As part of the course, students will build web crawlers and multi-step data gathering and visualization processes. Prerequisite(s): COMP 1101 with a C- or better.
	COMP 1200 - Web Development 3 Credit(s) This course introduces students to HTML, CSS, and Javascript - the core technologies which power modern websites. Students will learn how to create interactive, aesthetically pleasing websites for a variety of purposes. This course culminates with a project in which students will build a website for a real or imaginary product of their choosing. Prerequisite(s): PROG 1101 or COMP 1101 or MATH 1110
	COMP 2301 - Application Development I 3 Credit(s) Modern development relies on frameworks which provide developers with powerful tools to speed up development. If you want to build apps, you need to understand how to use frameworks. This course, which has been built in collaboration with Google, will introduce you to Django - a framework used for data-driven web applications. You’ll learn the fundamentals of Django, improve your database management skills, and begin developing your own apps. Prerequisite(s): COMP 1102 or PROG 1102
