Classes
-
BIOL 117: Gen Biol - Cells,Genetics,Evol
An introductory course in the biological sciences covering cells, information coding and transfer, evolution, and diversity of unicellular organisms. This course will emphasize examples from both the plant and animal kingdoms using an integrated approach. Counts for general education only when taken with BIOL 118. Intended for science majors and other well-prepared students.
-
BIOL 118: General Biology Laboratory I
An introductory experience which develops laboratory and analytical skills in the biological sciences. Students will learn data collection and analysis, written communication, and basic laboratory skills.
