RECOMMENDED BIOLOGY HEALTH SCIENCE COURSE SEQUENCE

Although Biology 115 is not a prerequisite for Biology
120, it is strongly recommended that students without a
science background in biology take Biology 115 prior to
Biology 120. Students who have taken Biology 115 are
better prepared for the rigor of Anatomy and Physiology.
Students are advised NOT to take Biology 112 concurrently
Biology 115 - 4 units with Biology 120 or Biology 121.
Human Biology
Transfer to CSU, UC, USC Students are recommended to take the chemistry
requirements before or with Biology 120.
