Estimate at a full-time pace of 30 credits a year (about 2.5 credits a month); Newlane is self-paced, so your own pace sets the real number. Newlane's tuition is $1,500 per degree however many credits you transfer, so UPI Study credits save you time, not tuition.
Intro to Biology 2 is a second-semester biology course that studies how living things are built, how they function, and how they interact with each other and their environments. It covers microbes such as viruses, prokaryotes, protists, fungi, and prions, as well as plants and animals, with attention to body systems, evolution, and basic genetics. The course is a broad survey of life science for students who want a clearer understanding of organisms from the cellular level to whole-body function.
Intro to Biology 2 is a self-paced online Biology 200 course with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% the final exam, so the transcript reflects completed work rather than seat time. When the course is finished and the transcript is sent, Newlane recognizes it as Natural Sciences GE.
This course builds a basic understanding of how organisms work, which can help in settings where you need to read about health, environment, genetics, or biology with more confidence. At Newlane, that knowledge can support degree plans such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy because the course comes in as Natural Sciences GE rather than as a random elective. It is useful for students who want general-education credit that still connects to everyday scientific literacy.
After you complete Intro to Biology 2, the transcript is sent to Newlane University for review. Newlane's registrar applies the course as Natural Sciences GE, which means it satisfies a general-education requirement in the Newlane degree plan rather than sitting outside the core. That can help you move through programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy while staying within Newlane's transfer ceiling of 90 credits. Because Newlane is competency-based and allows up to 75% of degree credit from transfer, this course can count toward the portion of the degree that you bring in from outside the university.
This course fits students who want a science requirement to transfer to Newlane and prefer a course that already has a general-education match as Natural Sciences GE. It can be a good option for adults finishing a degree or students watching transfer value carefully, since Newlane allows up to 90 credits and up to 75% of the bachelor's degree may come from transfer. It is not the best choice if you need a lab-intensive biology sequence or a course tied to a specific major science requirement.
Newlane University is DEAC-accredited and competency-based — you progress by demonstrating mastery. Tuition is a flat $1,500 per degree ($3,000 for a full bachelor's without an associate degree), and up to 75% of degree credit can come from transfer.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Final credit awards are determined solely by the receiving university's registrar.
Enroll for $250 (or use a UPI Study subscription), finish in 28–30 days, and transfer 3 credits to Newlane University.
