Section II: Overview of Program Analysis of Environmental Factors This analysis, initially developed in a collaborative meeting between IPR and the department chairperson, provides important background on the environmental factors surrounding the program. Department chairpersons and faculty members have an opportunity to revise and refine the analysis as part of the self-study process. The Biology Department supports a variety of degree and certificate programs from several academic divisions at Sinclair: In addition, the department has offered a career degree, the A.A.S. in Biotechnology, since fall, 2001. Outside of Sinclair, the department has associations with local universities, with several Tech Prep high schools, and with biotechnology employers in the region. The department offers two general biology sequences with laboratories/or integrated laboratories, one for non-science majors (BIO 111, 112, & 113 General Biology I, II, III) (BIO 1111 and 1212) and the other for science majors (BIO 171, 172, & 173 Principles of Biology I, II, III) (BIO 1171 and 1272). The 172, & 173) major’s sequence (171, (BIO 1171 and 1272) was submitted to the Ohio Board of Regents for the Biology Transfer Assurance Guide (TAG) and approved. Later this class integrated the laboratories into the lecture sequences for pedagogical reasons. The department offers the following anatomy and physiology courses and/or sequences that support a variety of degrees and certificates: Quarters (semester version) BIO 107 (1107) Human Biology Biotechnology Emergency Medical Services/Fire Science Paramedic Program Mental Health Technology and MHT/CD Occupational Therapy Assistant Respiratory Care Specimen Processing Tissue Banking Technology Pharmacy Technology
