BIO 110 - Introductory Biology I [GEKN]
This lecture course, taken concurrently with BIO 111 or BIO 112 , begins the two-semester introductory core sequence for Biology majors and minors. Students are introduced to cell structures and function, molecular biology, Mendelian and population genetics, evolutionary theory and ecology. These fundamental biological concepts, principles, and processes will be reinforced in upper-level courses.
Credit 3 hrs May not be repeated for additional credit
Grade Mode Normal (A-F) Course Rotation Fall, Winter, and Summer
Concurrent Prerequisite(s) (BIO 111 or BIO 112 ) and (MATH 104 , MATH 100-499, STAT 100-499, a minimum ACT Math Sub-Score of 23, a minimum SAT Math sub-score of 580, or a minimum College Level math placement test score of 53)
If a course is not taken concurrently, the student must earn a minimum grade of “C” in the prerequisite course.
Class-Level Restriction Undergraduate standing
BIO 110 is designed to enable students to understand the fundamental concepts, principles, and processes upon which all life is based; the relationship of the course material to their day-to-day world; and how to apply the scientific method. Students are provided with the tools to enable them to become responsible, scientifically literate global citizens and voters. Students who successfully complete BIO 110 have the ability to read critically a biologically relevant popular press article and to evaluate the reporting of technological, health-related and environmental issues. The ability empowers students to make better, scientifically-informed life decisions.
