In summary, the individual is considering going back to college for biology but is limited to one class per semester due to financial constraints. They are unsure how to approach the field since they struggled with math and did not take any science classes in high school. They are seeking advice on what courses they should take to build a strong foundation for biology, including whether they need to learn chemistry. It is recommended that they first ensure they have the prerequisite courses and then take their first-year biology course to gauge their interest and progress in the subject.

Hello, I was thinking of going back to college for biology but the problem I am having is that I can only have one class per semester (Lack of money) and I am unsure how to approach this field, in high school I was horrible at math (Didn't even pass Alb 1) I didn't take any science classes of any sort in high school. What should I take in order to build a strong foundation to my biology? Do I need to learn chemistry? I am just unsure what to take first, second ect ect.

Thanks in advanced for any help. :)

First you need to make sure you have the prerequisite coursed for any college-level course you take. For a biology course, this usually means high-school level biology and chemistry. Most colleges will have 'upgrading' high school-level courses for those who need them. After that - take your first year biology course and see where it takes you.
