Into to Biol is not a pre req, just suggested if you have been out of school for a while. And for me that's 12 years .

intro to bio will prep you for A&P, if you study hard you'll be okay no matter what order you take them in. These classes are not very rigorous they just require input of time, and time management skills...

I had not took anything bio related since I was 15, so close to 20 years. Took Intro to Bio and it honestly helped, as stated above it helped prep for A&P

I haven't had bio in 10 year's before taking A&P and I did fine. We only spent a few chapters on cellular biology, so if you can brush up on that on your own I think you can be OK without it.. Just double check the pre reqs and make sure it's not required for taking other courses (e.g. micro)

I took anatomy 5 years after I took biology. I forgot a lot of what I learned in biology and I don't think it's necessary if you brush up on cellular biology like a previous poster mentioned. I really don't think you need the entire class. I would take them as follows:

Semester 1: AP1

Summer: Stats

Semester 2: AP2 & psych

If you really want to take bio I would take it with AP1 OR Semester 1: Bio, psych & stats, Summer: AP1, Semester 2: AP2

Well, just to give you some insight, I personally never had any experience with biology or chemistry and I've still been able to maintain an A+ in A&P, English, and psychology all in my first semester in college. Everyone's different of course but as long as you're not taking more than 2 science classes per semester, I think you'll be fine if you're determined and dedicated. I'd only take the intro to bio if you're really weak in bio, otherwise I wouldn't waste the time or money.
