8 courses with the subject BIO, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
BIO 101General Biology I (Fall Spring Summer)4
Focuses on biological processes with a chemical foundation, including macromolecules, cellular structure, metabolism, and genetics in an evolutionary context. Explores the core concepts of evolution; structure and function; information flow, storage and exchange; pathways and transformations of energy and matter; and systems biology. Emphasizes the process of science, interdisciplinary approach, and relevance of biology to society. Part I of a two-course sequence. Assignments require college-level reading fluency, coherent written communication, and basic mathematical skills.

BIO 101 or departmental permission. This is a UCGS Transfer Course.
BIO 141Human Anatomy & Physiology I (Fall Spring Summer)4
Presents the study of anatomy & physiology including anatomical terminology, homeostasis, histology, integumentary system, skeletal system, muscular system, and nervous system. Part I of II. Assignments require college-level reading fluency, coherent written communication, and basic mathematical skills.
Demonstration of Foundations of Life Sciences (NAS 2) concepts, basic chemistry, cytology, energy basics to include ATP and cellular respiration, and basic inheritance through passing the A&P Readiness Assessment with a 70% or better or completion of BIO 101 with a grade of C or better or equivalent.
BIO 142Human Anatomy & Physiology II (Fall Spring Summer)4
Continues study of anatomy and physiology including endocrine system, blood and cardiovascular system, lymphatic system and immunity, respiratory system, urinary system, fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance, digestive system and nutrient metabolism, reproductive system, and prenatal development. Part II of II.
Completion of BIO 141 with a grade of “C” or better.
BIO 145Basic Human Anatomy and Physiology (Fall Spring)4
Surveys human anatomy and physiology. Covers basic chemical concepts, cellular physiology, anatomy, and physiology of human organ systems. Assignments require college-level reading fluency, coherent written communication, and basic mathematical skills.
BIO 150Microbiology for Health Science (Fall Spring Summer)4
Focuses on the general characteristics, cellular structure, and metabolism of microorganisms. Emphasizes microbial relationships with individual and community health. Includes impact of microbes on human health and disease, microbial pathogenicity, identifying and managing infectious diseases and controlling microbial growth, healthcare associated infections and epidemiology. Studies aseptic culturing techniques with hands-on experience in safe microbiology practices.
