Science (16 credits required)
Science and math requirements will vary, depending upon the student’s educational track. For example, students preparing to transfer into dental hygiene, physical therapy, respiratory therapy, or occupational therapy programs will typically be required to take eight hours of Anatomy and Physiology. However, pre-medical, pre-dental, pre-veterinary medicine, and pre-optometry programs require eight hours of General Biology. Students will be offered the opportunity to take the courses appropriate for their career path from the following:
