To ensure an optimized course schedule, plan to consult early in your first year with the chair of the Health Professions Advisory Committee.

Your courses may include:

• CHEM 101 General Chemistry I
  Explores theoretical chemistry and descriptive inorganic chemistry. The laboratories provide students with experience in basic laboratory manipulations, problem solving, and testing of hypotheses. Lectures and laboratories meet for 6 hours per week.
• BIOL 100 Modern Concepts in Life Science
  Introduces modern concepts of cell biology, metabolism, photosynthesis, nutrition, reproduction, heredity, evolution, behavior, and ecology.
• MATH 201 Calculus
