Revision as of 07:18, 29 January 2005
In order for students to receive Associate Degrees, as well as meet state high school requirements, the Missouri Academy curriculum is less Math, Science and Computer oriented as you might have originally expected.
Contents
Requirements
The curriculum requires
- Four semesters of English
- Math through Calculus II
- Chemistry through Chemistry II
- Physics through Physics II
- One humanities
- American Government
- One semester of Biology
- One semester of Computer Science
- A second semester of either Biology or Computer Science
- Note: A student with a B average GPA may take one or more elective courses
English
Academy students are required to complete four semesters of English classes.
- English 111 (Composition) (10-111)

Math
Required Courses
These are courses that you either must take or test out of:
- Precalculus (17-117)
- Calculus I (17-120)
- Calculus II (17-121)
Other Available Courses
- Multivariate Calculus (17-321)
- Differential Equations (17-361)
- Discrete Math (17-215)
Biology
You must take at least one biology course; two if you intend to take only one Computer Science course.
- General Biology (04-102/3)
- General Zoology (04-114/5)
- General Botany (04-112/3)
- General Microbiology (04-140)
The proposed curriculum changes for the class of 2007 requires that students take General Biology and General Microbiology.
Editorial Note: We're terribly sorry about the Micro requirement. Really, it wasn't always this dumb.
Chemistry
Two semesters of chemistry are required:
- General Chemistry I (3 hours) and lab (1 hour) (24-114/5)
- General Chemistry II (4 hours) and lab (1 hour) (24-116/7)
Physics
- Mechanics (Physics I) (4 hours) and lab (1 hour) (25-120/1)
- Electricity and Magnetism (Physics II) (4 hours) and lab (1 hour) (25-230/1)
Computer Science
Computer Science at Northwest is of variety that produces assembly line programmers (not to be confused with the computer language assembler] ). Sure, they're the factory workers of today, but where's the fun?
- Programming I (44-141)
- Visual Basic for Applications (44-140)
- Fortran
- Programming II (44-241)
- Data and File Structures (44-242)
- Multimedia and Web Development (44-333)
History/Humanities
- America - A Historical Survey (3 hours) (33-155)
- Introduction to American Government and Politics (3 hours)
Humanities courses are often taken during May, but those available during the normal year include:

- Introduction to Philosophy (3 hours) (39-171)
Seminar/Colloquium
- Seminar (81-101,102)
- Colloquium (81-103)
Electives
- French (14-131,132,232,233,234)
