Course Description

An introduction to the basic themes and concepts of modern biology spanning organizational levels from molecules to cells in an evolutionary context.

BIOL 103, Introductory Biology of Organism, for which BIOL 102 is a prerequisite, is offered as an online course in the July-August term. BIOL 102 Online has a significant level of interaction with the instructor and TAs to help students master the course material.

This course is intended primarily for students in biological and life sciences, for those considering pursuing careers in the health sciences/medical sector, and those with a general interest in Biology and plans to take further Biology courses. The Biology Department at Queen’s has two other courses, BIOL110 and BIOL111, that are intended for students who plan to take only one or two Biology courses.

This course may be used by Queen’s students towards the degree requirements of programs in the biological and life sciences. Students from other institutions pursuing chemistry, biochemistry or similar programs should check with their home institution regarding the suitability of this course towards their degree programs.
