 Commencing Fall 2011, Biology 241/243 will replace Biology 231/233 as the core introductory departmental courses, serving as prerequisites for the 300-level core biology courses and others.  
Biology 231 and 233 will no longer be offered effective Fall 2011. 

To accommodate students with only one course completed when the transition occurs the Department will accept any pairing of the old courses (231/233) and the new courses (241/243) to satisfy the 1 FCE junior biology course requirement.  Further questions should be directed to the Department of Biological Sciences.
