Who this subject is for

  • Students preparing for the CLEP Biology exam
  • Nursing and allied health students
  • Pre-med and life science majors
  • Adult learners finishing a degree
  • Homeschool students
  • Anyone who wants a structured tour of the life sciences

Why Biology matters

Biology is the science of living things, and most health and life-science study builds on it. It is the foundation for:

  • Anatomy and physiology
  • Microbiology
  • Genetics
  • Nursing and allied health
  • Ecology
