Once described as the “Emperor of all Maladies,” cancer kills over 20,000 people everyday worldwide. Despite the widespread impact of this disease, most people have little more than a basic idea of the workings of cancer. Did you know that cancer affects one in two men and one in three women in the United States? Or, that cases of skin cancer due to indoor tanning exceed cases of lung cancer due to smoking? Want to learn why taller women are more likely to get cancer? It’s about time that everyone knows a little something about cancer. If you are fascinated by this disease and want to learn the science behind it, enroll in Cancer 101!

Attendance is MANDATORY. Grading consists of participation, weekly homework and a midterm.

Enrollment is based on a survey handed out on the first day of class. If too many people are interested, survey responses will be used to select students for enrollment. It's our hope to be able to take everyone. Therefore, CCNs will be handed out ON THE FIRST DAY!
