UoPeople is tuition-free, but charges a $120 per-course assessment fee for undergraduate courses. Savings = transferred credits × $40 (the per-credit equivalent of UoPeople's $120 assessment fee for a 3-credit course). UoPeople credit awards subject to their evaluation policy.
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 with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam weighted at 20% for quizzes, 30% for assignments, and 50% for the final exam. When you finish, the transcript is sent for review and UoPeople can recognize the course as BIOL 1301 Introduction to Biology, a named course equivalency in its catalog.
The course gives you a working understanding of organisms, body systems, genetics, and evolution, which can help in settings where basic biological literacy matters. At UoPeople, that credit can support progress in programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science, where BIOL 1301 Introduction to Biology may fit into the degree plan.
After you complete the course, your transcript is evaluated by University of the People, which reviews transfer credit for you. If it is accepted, the registrar applies it as BIOL 1301 Introduction to Biology, the named equivalency that tells you exactly where it sits in the UoPeople catalog. That matters because it can count directly toward your degree requirements in programs like the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. Keep in mind that UoPeople allows up to 90 transfer credits, or 75% of a degree.
This course is a practical option for students who want to move credit toward UoPeople while building a foundation in biology before they enter or continue a degree. It is especially useful for people who need a named course match like BIOL 1301 Introduction to Biology and want to stay within UoPeople's transfer limit of up to 90 credits. It is not the best fit if you need graduate-level biology or a highly specialized science course.
University of the People is the world's first non-profit, tuition-free, WASC-accredited online university. Its team evaluates your transcript for you, and you only pay a small per-course assessment fee — no tuition.
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 University of the People.
