or concurrent enrollment.
This course introduces scientific methods used to determine
the nature of our universe. Course work includes the use
of astronomical instruments in a laboratory setting. A
planetarium is used to demonstrate planetary motion, star
patterns and constellations.
BIOLOGY
Also refer to courses in Anatomy, Microbiology,
Oceanography, and Physiology.
3 - INTRODUCTION TO BIOLOGY (4 UNITS)
UC:CSU
In this lecture and laboratory course for non-majors,
students learn general biological principles, activities, and
the relationships of living organisms to each other and the
world they live in with emphasis on their correlations to
the human organism. The course includes a study of the
nutritional, medical, and genetic aspects of the modern
world.
5 - INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN BIOLOGY
(4 UNITS) UC:CSU
This is an introductory lecture and laboratory course for
non-majors that includes the study of basic biological
principles; introduction to basic human anatomy,
physiology and microbiology. Human development and
heredity, evolution, ecology, bioethics of molecular
genetics are also covered.
33 - MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY (3 UNITS) CSU
This course develops a comprehensive medical vocabulary
applicable to all specialties of medicine, through learning
Greek and Latin prefixes, suffixes, and word roots.
Training in the spelling, pronunciation, and definition of
medical terms and abbreviations is provided, as well as in
the use of a medical dictionary.
101 - BIODIVERSITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL
BIOLOGY (5 UNITS) UC:CSU
Prerequisite: Completion of Chemistry 101 with a grade of “C” or
better or concurrent enrollment.
This is the first course of a three-course lecture and
laboratory sequence for Biology majors, including Biol
101, 102, and 103. It includes the scientific method, cell
structure and function, biodiversity, including major taxa
and their ecological and morpholological relationships,
behavioral, population community and ecosystem ecology,
and distribution and adaptations of organisms. It includes
field trips and library research. The degree of rigor and
the amount of independent learning are designed to meet
the preparation needs of students pursuing upper division
biology, medicine, dentistry, public health, veterinary
medicine, etc.A materials fee is required.

laboratory sequence for Biology majors, including
Biol 101, 102, and 103. Introduction to biological
molecules, cell function, including transport, enzymes, and
biochemical pathways; cell cycle, cell division, life cycles,
Mendelian genetics, the chromosomal and molecular bases
of inheritance, flow of genetic information and mutations;
evidence and mechanisms of evolution. The degree of rigor
and the amount of independent learning are designed to
meet the preparation needs of students pursuing upper
division biology, medicine, dentistry, public health,
