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 Normal (A-F)
May not be repeated for additional credit
Course Rotation: Fall, Winter, and Summer
Prerequisites - (BIO 111 or BIO 112 ) and (Level 4 Math Placement , MATH 104 with a “C” or higher , MATH 100-499 with a “C” or higher , or STAT 100-499 with a “C” or higher ) Courses may be taken concurrently

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.
Additional Information: BIO 110 is required for Biology [BS] and Biology Minor , Honors Sections may be available for this course
