Course Challenge Exam Policy
Students with comparable courses from other institutions may challenge out of some introductory courses in the Biological Sciences Department by examination. Passing of a challenge exam will not provide credit toward the major but does indicate adequate knowledge to take higher level courses for which the challenge course is a prerequisite. Challenge exams are offered for BioSci-150 and 152 Foundation in Biological Sciences I & II, BioSci-101 General Survey of Microbiology and BioSci-203 Anatomy and Physiology II. Please see a Biological Sciences advisor for evaluation your previous courses to determine if you are eligible to take any of the specific challenge exams.
