Prerequisites

Bachelor's Degree

For June 2014 admission, the bachelor's degree must be earned prior to the end of Spring Term 2014.  The Program doesn't require the degree to be from a specific major, however the majority of  students enter the program with degrees from science majors including Biology, Chemistry, and General Science.  We have also accepted competitive applicants with bachelor's degree in Psychology, English, History, Art History, etc.  In general, applicants with limited science credits will need to obtain them as a post-baccalaureate student. 

Required courses must be taken at accredited community colleges or universities.  The prerequisites with accompanying labs should be taken on-campus, not online. Specifically, the A&P with lab requirement will not be accepted if taken as an online course or lab.  Prerequisites without the required labs, Psychology and Statistics, can be taken online from accredited institutions.  

Minimum cumulative GPA of 2.8. (Note that the average for students admitted to the Class of 2013 was 3.51).

If using AP (Advanced Placement) or IB (International Baccalaureate) credit for biology, chemistry, psychology, or statistics requirements, the AP/IB credit must show on an official transcript from the community college or university accepting the AP/IB credit.
