Like Wilson, you, too, will become caught up in hunt
and exploration-an affair that will last a lifetime.
This is the first course in the core program for Biology
majors. You should be taking CHEM 210/218 or higher
concurrently. When you have completed the Biology core
program and organic chemistry you will be able to undertake
upper division coursework in the biological sciences.
Course content, assignments, and lab work are comparable
to that of your transfer institution and designed to
prepare you for upper division work in the sciences.
The basic principles you will study in Organismal Biology
will be applicable in all biology–related professions
including medicine, agriculture, biotechnology, animal
behavior, and ecology.
Organismal Biology will introduce you to the diversity
of living organisms and how they have evolved to meet
the challenges of life. All living organisms are faced
with the same set of problems including how to get nutrients
and transform those nutrients into usable energy and
how to reproduce.
