Classes

  • BIOL 119: Gen Bio-Diversity,Physiol,Eco

    An introductory course in the biological sciences covering animal diversity, animal biology, plant biology, and ecology. Counts for general education only when taken with BIOL 120.

  • BIOL 120: General Biology Laboratory II

    An introductory experience which develops laboratory and analytical skills in the biological sciences. Students will learn introductory statistical analysis, oral communication, and techniques of applied research.
