Undergraduate online education has increased in popularity in recent years and can used as a means to deliver undergraduate general education science courses. Delivery of laboratory material can be problematic in an online format. The hybrid course delivery method can alleviate this constraint by allowing lecture material to be delivered in an online format with a weekly meeting for in‐person laboratory exercises. This hybrid model was used to deliver a general education science course called Introduction to Human Biology (SCI‐115) at Champlain College in Spring and Fall 2016 semesters. Class sizes were very small (9 students in one section and 14 in another). Information regarding the outcomes of the two courses with student feedback and instructor reflection will be presented.
