BIOS-BIOL-APPH Conversion Table

Beginning in Spring 2020, the School of Biological Sciences now offers courses under a new subject code, BIOS (Biological Sciences). This subject code replaces APPH and BIOL for all undergraduate courses except APPH 1040 and APPH 1050. The tables below illustrate the equivalency between APPH, BIOL, and BIOS courses.
