BIO - 110 Contemporary Biology

Credits: 4

Prerequisites
MATH 100 (with a grade of C or higher) or placement into a level 3, 4, or 5 math course

BIO 110 is a one-semester life science course designed specifically for non-majors. The course will focus on selected topics taken from current headline events. In each topic there will be two emphases: the basic biological principles of the topic, and the interaction of biological science and the human population and the government. Completion of BIO 110 will satisfy four credits of the core requirements in Natural Sciences. This course does not satisfy the prerequisites for advanced courses in Biology and cannot be combined with BIO 101 or BIO 102 to complete degree requirements. This course should not be taken by students planning to major in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Allied Health, Psychology, or Sociology.
