Notes:
- For an explanation of why General Education courses are included in this Program, please refer to the Section on General Education for an explanation of its Purpose and Requirements.
- This plan assumes the student is eligible to enroll in College Level Courses (designated as 100 +, e.g., ENG 101 College Composition I, HST 101 World Civilization I, MTH 100 Intro. to College Mathematics). Placement results will determine College Level Readiness in English and Mathematics.
- No grade of "D" is acceptable in BIO, CHM, PHY, or MTH courses.
- MTH 119 Pre-Calculus I - MTH 120 Pre-Calculus II (8 cr.) sequence may be substituted for MTH 118 Precalculus (4 cr.)
- BIO 121 Anatomy & Physiology I - BIO 122 Anatomy and Physiology II (8 cr.) sequence may be substituted for BIO 211 Microbiology (4 cr.)
- Minimum required GPA for articulation is 3.5
Upon completion graduates will be able to:
- Utilize critical thinking and problem-solving skills to become avid learners; and
- Apply for entry into a 5-year M.D. program by demonstrating mastery in biology, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and physics.
Through its administration by the Division of Biology, Chemistry and Physics, the Biology/Pre-Medicine MD Option program demands academic rigor. The minimum required GPA is 3.5.
