Prerequisites
Please fill out your coursework that fulfills the prerequisites.
Grades of “C” or better are required in all prerequisite courses. Biological Science and Physical Science courses must include
laboratories (with exceptions listed below). No prerequisite course may be taken on a Pass/No Pass basis and no AP credits will be
accepted in lieu of college-level courses. In general, three quarters are considered equivalent to two semesters of coursework. All
prerequisite courses must be completed prior to enrolling in the program.
Anatomy, Biology, and Physiology
A minimum of sixteen (16) semester hours / twenty-four (24) quarter hours in the mammalian
biological sciences are required. The Biological Sciences prerequisite coursework must include one course in Human Anatomy with
laboratory and one course in Human Physiology with laboratory. If a COMBINED Human Anatomy & Physiology course is taken,
eight (8) semester hours/ twelve (12) quarter hours are required.
Statistics One (1) college-level statistics course is required. Courses taken within the Biology, Mathematics, and Psychology
departments are accepted.
Chemistry Eight (8) semester hours / twelve (12) quarter hours are required. A General Chemistry with laboratory series is preferred,
but Organic Chemistry with laboratory series and Biochemistry with laboratory series will be considered. In general, courses designed
for "life-science" majors are recommended over "survey-type" courses.
Physics Eight (8) semester hours / twelve (12) quarter hours with laboratory are required. A General Physics with laboratory series is
preferred. In general, courses designed for "life-science" majors are recommended over "survey-type" courses.
Psychology A minimum of six (6) semester hours / nine (9) quarter hours are required and may include General Psychology or
Abnormal Psychology.
