Does UMPI require me to take a Biology class no matter what or does Chemistry meet the Biological science requirement at UMPI? I know I had seen someone post that Sophia's Intro to Chemistry with Lab was now accepted as the Lab Science requirement by UMPI.
Previously, it was recommended that most people take the SDC BIO101L lab course. Since I have a 1 year Sophia membership, I wanted to try and avoid taking SDC classes if I could so I did not have to pay for the extra membership fee. I started taking Intro to Chem with the Lab and I am about 1/2 way through the class now. However, I liked Biology better than Chemistry in High School. Is the Human Biology course with Lab offered by Sophia. I believe this is the course that you are referring to and not a course on SDC? I just wanted to clarify. I think this is the course on Sophia you are referring to? Has it been verified for sure that UMPI will accept Human Biology with lab on Sophia to meet the Bio lab science requirement?

Although my tendency would be to finish the Intro to Chem and lab course I started, I do not want to still have to take yet another science (i.e. Biology course) if I do not have to do so?
Would you recommend that I drop the Sophia Intro to Chem course with Lab entirely and take the Human Biology course with Lab? It doesn't make sense to me to take the lab of one subject in Chemistry with the subject of another subject like Biology. For people that are not as good at Math like myself and the idea of doing the equation breakdowns on Chemistry is intimidating, would you recommend Human Biology as an easier choice? It seems like Human Biology is a combination of Anatomy and a Basic Biology class.
Sorry for all the questions, but, I want to make sure I take the most efficient path possible and avoid not having to take extra Math or Science classes and get through the rest of my GEC requirements as quickly as possible.
