DUCC/FORUM

Health Sciences wants a course that is equivalent to BISC 101 (it will satisfy prerequisite requirements for Health Sciences such as genetics)

People are concerned that it may create a gap in knowledge for those students entering mbb or genetics etc after taking this course instead of the regular BISC 101, it will also effect jobs in the biology department as well as funding that the BSU receives
