Biological Sciences, BIOL
1024. Biological Principles of Women's Health. 3 hours.
Fundamental principles of modern biology discussed within
the context of women's health. Provides a foundation in
biological principles with specific emphasis on topics that
address the understanding of women's physiology. Topics
include human genetics, metabolism, reproduction, neural
organization and sexuality. This is an introductory course;
however, successful completion of an introductory course
in biology at either the high school or college level will be
helpful. Satisfies the Welness requirement of the University Core
Curriculum. (Same as WMST 2620.)

concurrently). May not be used to satisfy the laboratory
science requirement in the College of Arts and Sciences.
May be used to satisfy a portion of the Natural Sciences
requirement of the University Core Curriculum (by elementary
education students only).
