SUMMARY

To pursue a degree in biology, foundational knowledge in high school-level biology and chemistry is essential. Students lacking this background should enroll in upgrading courses offered by most colleges. After completing these prerequisites, the next step is to take an introductory biology course to further develop understanding and skills in the field. This structured approach ensures a solid foundation for future studies in biology.

PREREQUISITES
  • High school-level biology
  • High school-level chemistry
  • College upgrading courses for foundational knowledge
  • Introductory biology course
NEXT STEPS
  • Research local colleges offering upgrading courses in biology and chemistry
  • Enroll in a first-year biology course
  • Explore study resources for high school-level biology and chemistry
  • Connect with academic advisors for personalized course planning
USEFUL FOR

Prospective biology students, individuals returning to education, and anyone seeking to build a strong foundation in biological sciences.

Hello, I was thinking of going back to college for biology but the problem I am having is that I can only have one class per semester (Lack of money) and I am unsure how to approach this field, in high school I was horrible at math (Didn't even pass Alb 1) I didn't take any science classes of any sort in high school. What should I take in order to build a strong foundation to my biology? Do I need to learn chemistry? I am just unsure what to take first, second ect ect.

Thanks in advanced for any help. :)

First you need to make sure you have the prerequisite coursed for any college-level course you take. For a biology course, this usually means high-school level biology and chemistry. Most colleges will have 'upgrading' high school-level courses for those who need them. After that - take your first year biology course and see where it takes you.
 
Ok, I wasn't sure how it was going to be. Thank goodness that they have that so I don't have to suffer and be in embarrassed from the lack of knowledge. Thank you so much :)
