Usually, Biology is recommended for science majors. Most business majors take the science courses for non-science majors, like Dinosaurs, Planet Earth, Extinction, Elements of Meteorology, etc.

Even if I could take Bio I to satisfy that requirement (which in the past was 2 courses), I think I’d prefer two non-major science courses as it is easier to get an A. Try to get as many A’s as possible in your early courses because once you begin your harder major courses it is harder to get As (many departments only give a certain %age of the class any one grade, for ex 10% A, 10% B+, 20% B, etc.)

Why kill yourself with a lab, recitation, and a lecture? And then possibly get a B? I think employers would rather see a higher GPA rather than a hard-won B in Bio II.
