INTRODUCTORY COURSE SEQUENCE
AP placement policy for incoming students (effective Fall 2005)
Incoming students that scored a '4' or '5' on the Advanced Placement Biology exams will receive 4 general elective credits but no credit towards the biology major or minor. Students will retain these general elective credits regardless of the Biology courses they take.
Students that took Biology AP exam and scored a '5' on their Advanced Placement Biology exam may take an advanced introductory course sequence. Students that have earned a '5' on their AP Biology exam may register for BIO 112 Perspectives in Biology I and BIO 113 Perspectives in Biology II instead of BIO 110 Principles of Biology I and BIO 111 Principles of Biology II. NOTE: Biology majors/minors who declared prior to fall 2005 follow a different policy - please see a biology advisor.COMMON BIO MAJORS COURSE PLAN for the first four semesters. Please see a Biology Advisor about your plan.
