Hey guys, so I took this evolution class several yrs ago...its offered by a seminar category in my school (seminars have their own category like bio, etc). The description of the course is this and the name is "Investigations across multiple Evolutionary Scales"...the class predominantly talked about biological evolution and ecology:

"This TIMES seminar will consider the most basic patterns across the realms of nature and mind, and
search for common functional principles that create those patterns. The guiding context is the fact that
evolution is a form‐generating process. In a general sense, evolution occurs on multiple scales: biological
(Darwinian evolution), cultural (invention and social selection), and cognition (learning and creativity).
All these scales possess unique but also similar subprocesses of replication, variation, and selection."

would you classify this as bcpm? even though other topics besides bio and physics were discusses, predominantly the class was on biological evolution/ecology....the prof is also a bio and environmental studies professor...

your opinion would be appreciated..

What's the course title on your transcript? If it starts with Bio I think you have your answer

What dept was this class in? If its BIOLXXX (or chem/physics), then yes, it will count 🙂

It appears to be mostly related to Biology.

thanks for the responses guys...its actually part of an advanced honors seminar category (my school has a category for those types of classes just like how they have biology and physics categories), thats the reason why it has a different course number than the bio classes; however the content, as mentioned above, was predominantly bio/physics/some math....and as amcas cares more about the content rather than category, that is why i was planning on putting it in bio/bcpm...

thanks again for the responses...i will classify it as bcpm in that case...any other responses would be aprpeciated..

Yes. It is bio and does not need to show up on your transcript as BIO ### to be counted as such.
