Introduces non-majors to science and scientific methodology through a study of the basic principles of biology. Focuses on student understanding of the unity and diversity of life through discussions of topics that include biological chemistry, metabolism, cell biology, molecular biology, genetics, evolution of living systems, and ecology. Examines the implications of the science of biology on human affairs. Credit Limitation - MC, CSU, and UC: no credit if taken after BIOL M02A or BIOL M02AH. Field trips may be required. Transfer credit: CSU; UC.

Surveys the basic biology and diversity of unicellular and multicellular organisms. Emphasizes general biological principles, classification, structure, function and evolutionary adaptations of organisms (including plants, fungi, animals, and unicellular organisms) to their environments. Honors work challenges students to be more analytical and creative through expanded assignments, real-world applications and enrichment opportunities. Credit Limitation: Credit will not be awarded for both the honors and regular versions of a course. Credit will be awarded only for the first course completed with a grade of "C" or better or "P".

Provides students with opportunities to develop skills in behavior modification and observational research. Requires students to demonstrate such skills through training a rat and conducting observational research on animals under professional care. Prerequisites: ANCT M09 or concurrent enrollment. Transfer credit: CSU. Notes: Student must be able to house and care for one or more domestic rats. Formerly: ANSC M04L; EATM M09L.

Surveys invertebrate and vertebrate animals, both terrestrial and marine. Focuses on classification, general characteristics, adaptations, animal recognition, evolutionary history, and basic concepts of ecology. Transfer credit: CSU. Formerly: ANSC M07; ANSC M07L; EATM M17.

Teaches the design, development and implementation of wildlife education outreach programs for audiences of various ages, cultural orientations, and developmental levels. Introduces students to the concepts of creating flexible plans specific to working with live animals and the transporting of animals to an outside venue. Focuses on the concepts of reading and engaging with all audiences. Prerequisites: ANCT M15B. Corequisites: ANCT M15DL. Formerly: EATM M15D.
