This course is designed to be the equivalent of a college introductory biology course usually taken by biology majors during their first year. Some AP students, as college freshmen, are permitted to undertake upper-level courses in biology or to register for courses for which biology is a prerequisite. Other students may have fulfilled a basic requirement for a laboratory science course and will be able to undertake other courses to pursue their majors.

THIS COURSE IS ONLY OFFERED THROUGH RODP and is intended for NON-SCIENCE MAJORS. This course introduces the student to the methods of biological science. It explores the chemical basis of life; cell structure and function including energy metabolism; cell division; DNA and gene regulation; Mendelian and molecular genetics; the process of evolution; speciation; mechanisms for the origin of life on earth; the principles of systematics; the prokaryotes and the Kingdom Protists. May not receive credit for both BIOL 1110 and BIOL 1010 and BIOL 1030.

THIS COURSE IS ONLY OFFERED THROUGH RODP AND is intended for NON-SCIENCE MAJORS. This course introduces the student to the diversity of life on earth, looking in more detail at the fungi, plants and animals. The structure and function of flowering plants is reviewed. Animal anatomy (tissues, organs and organ systems), physiology, reproduction and development are covered with an emphasis on humans. The final section of the course covers the principles of ecology. May not receive credit for both BIOL 1120 and BIOL 1020.
