BIOL 100 - Discovering Biology at UT

1 Credit Hours
Intended for new UT students (first-year or transfer), interested in majoring in biology. Discovering Biology at UT will introduce students to the biology degree, and explore the 4 concentrations to help students decide if biology is the right major for them. Additionally, students will practice study strategies specific to introductory biology courses (but applicable to ALL classes) to help them learn effectively in the large classroom. Finally, this course will introduce students to a variety of STEM-specific co-curriculars including undergraduate lab research. By the end of this course, students will have vision of their life as a biology major at UT and a tool kit of academic and social support resources, that will prepare them to reach their STEM goals.

Grading Restriction: Satisfactory/No Credit grading only.
Comment(s): Transfer students interested in this course should contact the instructor for permission.
Registration Restriction(s): Freshmen only.
