Background in biology and basic chemistry is presumed, and prior college course work in biology is strongly recommended for students without recent high school biology courses.

Credit with a C or better in BIOL 2404 is a listed prerequisite for BIOL 2401.  Credit with a C or better in BIOL 2401 is a listed prerequisite for BIOL 2402.

Suggested alternative prerequisite courses for BIOL 2404:

Introductory Biology, BIOL 1409
Biology for Majors, BIOL 1406
Zoology, BIOL 1413

Students with a C or better in a college-level chemistry course may waive the BIOL 2404 prerequisite.
