CristyEmily Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Thanks in advance for the help-- Just wondering, I know a lot of schools require 8 credit hours of General Biology. I have 4 credit hours of Principles of Biology I (basically general bio I) and then additional credits of Micro, Genetics, etc. I also have 8 credits of Anatomy & Phys and am wondering if having 8 credits of A+P I and II would fulfill the remaining 4 credit hours of the "general biology" requirement.

TarheelGirlx3 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I also wonder about this...I mean I was a bio major and my university doesn't have a gen bio 2, so I have just assumed that all my other courses would fulfill it somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterallsummer Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 AP would count as the bio credit. If they require both AP 1 and 2 then obviously it won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKR007 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 It depends on the school.. I had this problem b/c my school also does not offer Gen Bio 2.. some schools were ok with my upper level classes fulfilling the requirement, but a few said it had to be a 'general' biology class.

aliss929 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 2 semesters for general biology typically refers to "General Biology I" (Cellular/Molecular) and "General Biology II": (biology of organisms). Most schools that require the 8 hours of general bio are referring to the pre-med requirement of a full-year course of general biology (I & II). Here's how they spell it out on the Tufts University website: [TABLE=class: telerik-reTable-4] [TR=class: telerik-reTableEvenRow-4] [TD=class: telerik-reTableFirstCol-4]General Biology (I & II with lab)[/TD] [TD=class: telerik-reTableLastCol-4, colspan: 2]2 semesters each semester with lab general or human biology for science majors microbiology will not be accepted for this requirement [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
