Taking Pre-Reqs Question

Published

So I want to take two sciences together, because I really like the sciences overall.

My school requires students to take:

BIO 101 AND BIO 102.

BIO 110.

Chemistry.

A&P I/II

MicroBiology.

The thing is, I was thinking of either combining BIO 110, and BIO 101.

OR

BIO 110 and Chemisty.

These are the descriptions to each of these Biology's.

BIO 101: Topics include a study of the nature and scope of science in general and biological science in particular: the chemical and physical basis of life; the structures and functions of the cell with an emphasis on photosynthesis, respiration, functions of DNA, and the processes of mitosis and meiosis. The course concludes with the genetic and evolutionary consequences of meiosis and reproduction. (GE 2)

BIO 110: A introductory course covering the scientific method, basic chemistry, cell biology, structure and function of the vertebrate body, biochemical pathways, cellular division, genetics, diversity and biological systems. (GE 2) Prerequisite: The course is designed for students with little or no academic background in biological sciences and want to pursue a career in the health professions or biology.

Sorry the formatting got really weird. Would it be horrible for me to take those two Biology classes together? Or Should I do Biology and Chemistry together and etc. Just needing some advice.. Thanks in advanced.

If you insist on combining them, I would go with Bio 101 and 102.

BIO 101, is a Prerequisite to BIO 102, so I'm unable to do that

I would personally do bio 101 and chem. :)

I think taking chemistry as one of your first courses along with a bio would be a good combo. All your upper level sciences use quite a bit of basic chemistry.

BIO 110 may have enough chemistry to help you with A&P . I suggest BIO 101 & 110 together before A&P I. Then chemistry either with A&P I or after it. Taking a lower level bio & Chem class before A&P should make the beginning of A&P much easier. My advice is just from what I know from your post. Your science department can give you better advice. They want you to succeed .

TWishes is right about chemistry foundation.

what idd your advisor say when you asked about this?
