Non-Biology Majors Coursework
BSC 1005 Principles of Biology for Non-majors NS (3) AS BIO
No credit for Biology Majors. Provides non-majors students with a broad, basic
knowledge of the science of life to become well-informed citizens regarding the
natural world. Presents theories and mechanisms of: science as a process and
a way of thinking; inheritance and evolution; human anatomy, physiology, and behavior.
Informs students about their bodies (to become better medical patients), and how
to interpret science reported in secondary sources. (Note: This is the updated course
description, not yet listed in catalog)
BSC 1005L Principles of Biology for Non-majors Lab NS (1) AS BIO
No credit for Biology Majors. Provide non-majors student with a hands-on,
practical course in the science of life. Specific material covered in
lab will reinforce material covered in biology lecture and bridge principles of
biology to real/everyday life. (Note: This is the updated course description, not
yet listed in catalog)
