understanding about the basic concepts used by computational chemists, as well as different types of software. NCSSM is one of a limited number of high schools in the country that offers computational chemistry. More information: http://online.ncssm.edu/courses. CH414 Introduction to Medicinal Chemistry One Semester Credit: One unit core elective credit. Prerequisite: Permission of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Programs. Meeting pattern: Online, plus weekly scheduled webinar, and select oncampus all day Saturday sessions. This course provides a problem-based, basic understanding of pharmacology and protein biology. Students learn how drugs are designed and developed, and about the role that genetics plays in modern pharmacology. Students work collaboratively in small teams to solve a medicinal chemistry “case study”. This course makes significant use of computer modeling (computational chemistry). More information: http://online.ncssm.edu/courses. CH424 Chemistry Advanced One Semester Credit: One unit core chemistry credit. Prerequisite: Completion of an honors chemistry course with a final grade of B or higher and permission of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Programs. Meeting pattern: Online, plus weekly scheduled webinar, and select oncampus all day Saturday sessions. This is the first semester of a two-semester sequence to prepare students to take the AP Chemistry examination. It is a fast-paced, rigorous chemistry course which provides an advanced, in-depth review of selected general chemistry topics. This course covers fundamental and advanced concepts of chemistry and uses a college-level textbook. When followed by CH426 AP Chemistry, this course helps to prepare students for the Advanced Placement examination in Chemistry. More information: http://online.ncssm.edu/courses. CH426 AP Chemistry One Semester Credit: One unit core chemistry credit. Prerequisite: Completion of CH424 Chemistry Advanced with a final grade of B or higher and permission of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Programs. Meeting pattern: Online, plus weekly scheduled webinar, and select oncampus all day Saturday sessions. 102
This is a fast paced, rigorous chemistry course which, when taken following successful completion of CH424 Chemistry Advanced, helps to prepare students for the Advanced Placement examination in Chemistry. More information: http://online.ncssm.edu/courses. EN364 Ecocriticism: Nature in Thought and Writing One Semester Credit: One unit core elective credit. Prerequisite: Permission of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Programs. Meeting pattern: Online, plus weekly scheduled webinar, and select oncampus all day Saturday sessions. A writing course focused through the specific lens of ecocriticism while learning the literary conventions, structures, and elements necessary to evaluate any piece of prose, we focus on how authors have addressed the physicality of the natural world including the way we encounter and describe the “otherness” of nature, the evolution of our understanding of our environment, and the effect of that development on our understanding of ourselves, the issues resulting in irresponsible interactions with the environment, and how these global ideas manifest themselves in local and individual behaviors.

Prerequisite: Permission of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Programs. Meeting pattern: Online, plus weekly scheduled webinar, and select oncampus all day Saturday sessions. Computational biology – known also as “bioinformatics” – is a hybrid, interdisciplinary course, and is one of the most important new fields of study in science. Computational biology is not a biology course pre se – it is the application of computing and mathematics (primarily statistics) to biological data. What is biological data? Mostly genetics and genomics data, such as studies of DNA extracted from mice breeding experiments to predict the gentic basis of diseases such as cancer, high blood pressure, and obesity. Successful completion of this course can open opportunities for research at the undergraduate level and beyond. More information: http://online.ncssm.edu/courses. 103
