BIO 100: Human Biology

This course is a general science course for non-science majors. It covers general topics in biology including chemistry, cells, cell division, genetics, protein synthesis, biotechnology, and bioethics. Several body systems including the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and immune systems are also covered. The objective is to raise students’ science literacy to enable them to understand scientific issues for making personal and public policy decisions. There are three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory per week. Students who have received credit for BIO 101 or BIO 102 cannot sub subsequently receive credit for BIO 100. In the case that a student completes BIO 100 prior to completing BIO 101 or 102, then BIO 100 will count as a free elective credit only.
