Biology 2 Course Details

Course ID BIO-126
Level Undergraduate
Credits 4
Tuition $462 per credit hour

This Biology course online will introduce students to the concepts and connections between evolution and ecology and includes an online lab component. Students will learn how populations evolve, including what factors are necessary for the process of evolution to occur, and how evolution accounts for both the diversity and similarity among all forms of life on Earth (with a focus on vertebrates). Students will use this information to understand the association between how life on Earth has evolved and how animal form (or structure) relates to function. Finally, by learning about the different types of environments on Earth, students will understand how organisms, populations, and communities, are affected by the dynamics of their surroundings (i.e., the ecosystem), and the importance of conserving the diverse forms of life on Earth.

Lab Note: A lab kit is required and will be purchased through Doane University’s lab equipment partner.

The accelerated option and pacing was definitely valuable as I wanted to apply early in the admission cycle. My experience has reminded me that I’m not alone, and that community and purpose go hand in hand”.
