Corequisite: MA 82 or MA 85 or MA 103A or BU/MA 205A
or MA 206A or MA 207A
Explores basic biological concepts involved in
understanding the structure, function, and evolution
of organisms. Introduces organization of living matter,
metabolism, genetics, evolution, and ecology, and
their application to everyday life. This one semester
laboratory course is intended for non-STEM (science,
technology, engineering, and math) majors, and is
designed to provide students with an appreciation
of biological concepts and their current applications.
Meets the requirement for a general education
science lab course.

recommended, [(EN 50A or EN 61) and EN 52] OR (ESL
95 and ESL 99) OR (ESL 72 and ESL 73), and MA 82 or
MA 85
Explores the basic biological principles common to
all living organisms, including biological chemistry,
bioenergetics and metabolism, cellular and molecular
biology, and classical and molecular genetics. Methods
of scientific inquiry and data analysis are studied and
practiced. BI 101 is the first of a two semester series
that together with BI 102 is a comprehensive survey
of modern biology. This course is intended for STEM
(science, technology, engineering, and math) majors,
and pre-allied health majors.
BI 102–General Biology (4)
• GenEd Science
Prerequisite: BI 101
Continues the comprehensive survey of modern
biology begun in BI 101 with an emphasis on
mechanisms of evolution, methods of phylogenetic
reconstruction and analysis, diversity of life, and
ecology. Surveys biological diversity of all eukaryotic
domains and kingdoms, including the study of
various anatomical, physiological, and behavioral
adaptations for life in different habitats. Select
vertebrate body systems are studied.
BI 103–Anatomy & Physiology (4)

approach. Emphasizes relationships between form and
function at both the microscopic and gross levels of
organization. Includes basic anatomical terminology,
concepts of cell biology, histology, integumentary
system, skeletal system, muscular system, nervous
system, special senses and endocrine system.
