BIos 112 L Genera l Biology II : Laboratory ................. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . 1 This laboratory, which accompanies General Biology II, will involve dissection as well as experimentation. A major project involving the Biola Creek is included. Usually taken concur rently with Biology 11, but may be taken separately if Biology AP credit has been granted. Lab fee: $60.
All Biological Science majors automatically meet the gen eral education requi rement of eight units of science and mathematics. The foreign language requirement is met by two years in high school or first four units in college.
Note:
Minor A Biological Sc iences Minor is offered with the completion of 20 units, 12 of which must be upper division. General Biology (111 and 112) are required. The remaining elective units are to be approved by a department adviser. Admission Requirements High school requirements are: one year of biology, one year of chem istry, three years of mathematics, and two years of foreign language. One year of physics is desirable. Deficiencies can be fulfilled with permission from the Department of Biological Science. English Requirements Students wishing to enroll in any courses in the Biological Sciences must be eligible to take English 100 or 11 O A or must have the per mission of the instructor to take the course.
