Specific Additional Requirements:

In addition, to the above courses, students must satisfy the specific requirements for their major, as well as the University’s general education requirements. Chiropractic schools may require additional coursework in English and the humanities. It is strongly suggested that students research the specific programs that interest them, in order to make sure they will meet the school’s course requirements.

* Students majoring in Biological Chemistry, Microbiology, or Human Biology satisfy this requirement with other biology laboratory courses.

† A small but growing number of medical schools require a course sequence in mathematics, which may include calculus and statistics. All schools value mathematical competence. A student who places into a higher-level math, such as Math 150-Applied Calculus, should take that course instead of Math 100 and then continue on to take Math 241-Statistics. Students are strongly discouraged from taking Math 117-Probability and Linear Mathematics.

Naturopathic medical schools may require additional coursework in English and the humanities. It is strongly suggested that students research the specific programs that interest them, in order to make sure they will meet the school’s course requirements.

† Many optometry schools require a course in both calculus and statistics. Students who place into a lower-level math, such as Math 100 – Intermediate Algebra or Math 121- Precalculus, must first complete these courses in order to fulfill the prerequisites of the higher-level math courses. Students are strongly discouraged from taking Math 117-Probability and Linear Mathematics.
