This one-semester course introduces students to the fundamental principles governing “how life works” including cellular functions, genetics, evolution, and ecology.

This general education science elective is intended for students in non-science and non-health profession majors and does not fulfill a science elective for Math/Science or Computer Science majors. Three credit hours. Not open to students with credit in BIO 121  or any Biology course numbered 141 or higher. No prerequisite. Optional 1-credit laboratory is available (BIO 105L ): it must be taken concurrently with BIO 105.
