This course is designed to be the equivalent of a college introductory biology course usually taken by biology majors during their first year. Some AP students, as college freshmen, are permitted to undertake upper-level courses in biology or to register for courses for which biology is a prerequisite. Other students may have fulfilled a basic requirement for a laboratory science course and will be able to undertake other courses to pursue their majors.

This course is designed for science majors and for those students in other majors with a laboratory science requirement. Through laboratory exercises and classroom experiences the student will demonstrate the ability to identify and interpret basic biological concepts. These concepts include the chemical basis of life, metabolism, reproduction and development, genetic continuity and heredity as they pertain to the cellular through organismic levels of organization in living organisms.
