Savings = semester credits × $518: Strayer's $1,555 undergraduate tuition per course (strayer.edu, 13 Oct 2026) divided by the 3 semester hours one Strayer course equals. Strayer makes the final credit award.
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 course built from video lessons, quizzes, an assignment set, and a final exam. Quizzes count for 20% of your grade, assignments for 30%, and the final exam for 50%, so the exam carries the most weight. When you complete the course and the credit appears on your transcript, that record is what Strayer recognizes as SCI201 – Unlocking the Secrets to Science and Innovation.
The course trains you to explain how DNA replication, gene regulation, and inheritance work, and to judge evidence on evolution and ecosystem stability. Those skills apply to health care, environmental work, lab support roles, and everyday questions about medicine and food. At Strayer, the credit appears under the named equivalency SCI201 – Unlocking the Secrets to Science and Innovation, which gives your record a recognized course code within programs such as the Associate in Arts or the Bachelor's degree.
Once you finish the course, your transcript credit is sent to Strayer, where the registrar reviews it and applies the equivalency SCI201 – Unlocking the Secrets to Science and Innovation to your academic record. Because this is a named course equivalency that maps to a specific catalog code, your degree plan can reference it directly rather than treating it as general credit. Strayer's 2026-2027 catalog accepts credit reviewed by ACE and NCCRS when the grade is a C or higher, so a grade below that will not transfer. Total transfer credit is capped at 126 credits, which equals 70% of the degree, so plan your remaining coursework with that limit in mind.
This course fits adults who already have some college credit and want to finish a Strayer degree without paying for every course at the full rate, and it suits career changers who need a grounding in biology before moving into a science-related field. It also works for students who prefer to move through material on their own schedule. Because Strayer recognizes it as a named equivalency, it can do more than fill a generic elective slot, though the 126-credit transfer ceiling means it is one piece of a larger plan. It is not the right choice for someone who needs live, instructor-led sessions, or for anyone who assumes the credit will count toward a specific requirement without first checking their Strayer degree audit.
Strayer University signed an articulation agreement with UPI Study (effective 15 June 2025). Its 2026-2027 catalog accepts credit reviewed by ACE and NCCRS, with a grade of C or higher, up to 126 quarter hours toward a bachelor's degree.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Strayer determines, in its sole discretion, which credits qualify under the agreement and its transfer credit policies.
Enroll for $250 (or use a UPI Study subscription), finish in 28–30 days, and transfer 3 credits to Strayer University.
