Policies that can change your plan
- Medical terminology
- Orientation proficiency exam instead of a prerequisite course; confirm if a course is needed.
- Biology route
- Upper-level Biology may replace General Biology I/II with program approval.
Science and Math prerequisites must be within ten years. Medical Terminology is tested at orientation; if the exam is failed, a course is required. Upper-level Biology coursework may replace the I/II sequence, subject to program review.
