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 around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam, so students need to complete all parts of the course rather than relying on one assessment. When the course is finished, the transcript can be sent to Thomas Edison State University, where it is recognized as BIO-1120 – General Biology II.
This course gives TESU students a structured way to complete a biology requirement that can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Arts and Bachelor of Arts. Because TESU accepts transfer credit broadly and can apply a named equivalency like BIO-1120 – General Biology II, the course can help students keep their plan moving without repeating material they have already covered. It is especially useful for students who want the biology foundation in place before moving on to other TESU coursework.
After you finish the course, your transcript is sent for TESU review and the registrar applies the named equivalency, BIO-1120 – General Biology II, to your record. That matters because a named course equivalency maps directly to a specific TESU catalog course, which makes it easier to place the credit in a degree plan for programs such as the Associate of Arts or Bachelor of Arts. TESU allows up to 90 credits, or 75%, to transfer, so this course can be part of a larger transfer strategy rather than a standalone requirement. With TESU's broad transfer policy, the credit can help fill the biology slot while keeping you within the university's transfer ceiling.
This course is a practical option for students planning to transfer into Thomas Edison State University and wanting a clear match to BIO-1120 – General Biology II. It fits students who need to stay within TESU's 90-credit transfer limit and want to use outside coursework efficiently toward a degree. It is not the best choice for someone who needs an upper-level biology course or who is not aiming for TESU's transfer structure.
Thomas Edison State University has one of the most flexible transfer policies in the country and accepts ACE & NCCRS credit recommendations. With a four-year institution's credits, you can fulfill all degree requirements except two required TESU courses.
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 Thomas Edison State University.
