What is the core biology series at JMU?
We introduce our majors to most of the fields of biology through four required core courses usually taken during the first two years: Organisms (BIO 114), Ecology and Evolution (BIO 124), Cell and Molecular Biology (BIO 214) and Genetics and Development (BIO 224). Each of these courses is 4-credits and each has a laboratory component. The latter two courses are taken in the second year because they have a prerequisite of college chemistry.
