BIO 101 - Introduction to Biology I
4 Hours
Prerequisite: ENR 098 with grade of C or higher placement
Note: Credit toward graduation will not be given for both BIO 101 and BIO 103.
This is an introductory course designed for non-science majors. It includes physical, chemical, and biological principles common to all organisms. These principles are explained through a study of the scientific method, biological organization, cellular structure, bioenergetics of a cell, cell reproduction, gene theory, inheritance, and evolution. A 120-minute laboratory per week is required.

BIO 103 - Principles of Biology I
4 Hours
Prerequisite: ENR 098 with grade of C or higher placement
Note: Credit toward graduation will not be given for both BIO 101 and 103.
This is an introductory course for science and non-science majors. It covers physical, chemical, and biological principles common to all organisms. These principles are explained through a study of cell structure and function, cellular reproduction, basic biochemistry, cell energetics, the process of photosynthesis, and Mendelian and molecular genetics. Also included are the scientific method, basic principles of evolution, and an overview of the diversity of life with emphasis on viruses, prokaryotes, and protists. A 120 minute laboratory is required.

BIO 201 - Human Anatomy and Physiology I
4 Hours
Prerequisite: BIO 103 Principles of Biology I
Note: BIO 201 cannot be used for Area III credit for the AA and AS degrees.
This course covers the structure and function of the human body. Included is an orientation of the human body; a study of cells and tissues, joints, the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems; and the senses. Dissection, histological studies, and physiology are featured in the laboratory experience. A 120-minute laboratory is required.

BIO 202 - Human Anatomy and Physiology II
4 Hours
Prerequisite: BIO 201
Note: BIO 202 cannot be used for Area III credit for the AA and AS degrees.
This course covers the structure and function of the human body. Included is the study of basic nutrition and metabolism; basic principles of fluids, electrolytes, and acid-base balance; and the endocrine, respiratory, digestive, urinary, cardiovascular, lymphatic, and reproductive systems. Dissection, histological studies, and physiology are featured in the laboratory experience. A 120-minute laboratory is required.

BIO 220 - General Microbiology
4 Hours
Prerequisite: BIO 103 with a letter grade of C or higher (Additionally, four (4) semester hours of chemistry is recommended.)
This course covers the fundamental principles of microbiology, which includes the characteristics of bacteria, archaea, eukaryotes, and viruses; cell functions; chemical and physical control methods of microbial growth; and interactions between microbes and humans in relation to pathology, immunology, and the role of normal biota. The laboratory experience focuses on microbiological techniques including culturing, microscopy, staining, identification, and control of microorganisms. Two 120-minute laboratories are required.
