    Description
    This course, intended for science majors, is an intensive modern study of biology designed to prepare students for upper-division science courses. Topics include the biochemical, molecular, metabolic, genetic, and evolutionary aspects of cells and organisms. Students will apply their understanding of biology concepts in the laboratory to develop an understanding of the philosophy of science, methods of scientific inquiry and experimental design. Field trips may be required.
