*   Students may take BIOL 127 Human Structure and Function for 4 Credits instead of BIOL 227/228 Anatomy and Physiology I and II. However, BIOL 127 is NOT an approved General Education course. Therefore, if a student takes BIOL 127, then they also must take an additional 4 Credits of approved General Education coursework. BIOL 227 and BIOL 228 are approved General Education courses.

**The prerequisite for Math 123 Math in Modern Society is MATH 025 Beginning Algebra with a grade of "C" or better, or CSI placement test score. Also, students may take MATH 130 Finite Math or MATH 143 College Algebra to meet General Education requirements. The prerequisite for both of these courses is MATH 108 Intermediate Algebra with a grade of "C" or better, or CSI placement test score.
