While there is flexiblity in how you structure your schedule to accommodate courses required for medical, dental, veterinary or other health professions programs, there are some points you should keep in mind. Initailly you should read this entire section carefully. Following the links in the table below will aid you if you have a specific question at a later date. FRESHMAN COURSE SCHEDULES and Introductory Courses BEYOND THE FRESHMAN YEAR Writing Humanities/Social Science Coursework Mathematics Upper Level Biology Courses ... Study Abroad FRESHMAN COURSE SCHEDULES . Students considering the health professions need a solid foundation in basic verbal and quantitative skills. Standardized admissions tests (the MCAT, the DAT and the VCAT), are written to test those skills. One-half of the current version of the MCAT focuses on writing skills and reading comprehension of non-scientific material. Moreover, high achievement in chemistry, biology, and physics is possible only with well-developed reading, writing and quantitative skills. This sets the priorities for course selections in the freshman year as follows: Writing Link to Trinity College curriculum web site Mathematics : About twenty of the 125 US medical schools require calculus. In addition, since Physics 53/54 at Duke are calculus-based, it is expected that Duke students preparing for medical school will also complete a sequence in calculus. A requirement for the equivalent of two semesters of calculus can be met in one of several ways by Duke Students. Both the MATH 25/26 sequence and the MATH 31/32 sequence represent two semesters of calculus. Either MTH 25/26 or MATH 31/32 will meet the calculus prerequisite for PHY 53/54 at Duke. However, Duke students should be aware that calculus through MTH 32 is required for completion of the BS degree in biology, biological anthropology and anatomy, and psychology and for the AB and BS degrees in chemistry. AP credit for calculus has been accepted by nearly all medical schools; however, we can not guarantee.

Thoroughly modern biology: Courses at Bellevue schools designed for new generation
by David A. Grant
Journal Reporter
BELLEVUE In days gone by, young biology students dissected frogs, read thick, often boring textbooks and wondered, perhaps, how their studies related to reality. But with new technology and recent discoveries such as the mapping of the human genome, known as ``The Book of Life,'' a lot has changed in the world of biology. A new ninth-grade biology curriculum now being introduced in the Bellevue School District is designed to reflect the changes and make the study of living matter more relevant to a new generation of teenagers. Under the program, teenagers study entire organic systems using digital genetic information and the same sophisticated equipment as seasoned scientists. Called ``Today's Biology Today,'' the science curriculum is a partnership between the district, the Bellevue Schools Foundation and Seattle-based Institute for Systems Biology. The Institute is a nonprofit research organization co-founded by Dr. Leroy Hood, a leading scientist of molecular biotechnology and genomics.

Just the FAQ's
Why should I become a biologist?
Are you interested in:
  • animals? plants? high school biology? designing experiments? participating in science fairs? reading magazines and books about science and living organisms? learning how animals function - including humans? collecting butterflies, shells or fossils? going to zoos, natural history museums and botanical gardens? snorkeling? aquariums? bird-watching? nature programs on television?
Would you like to:
  • be the first to observe or discover something? develop theories that will lead to new ways of thinking about the world? improve environmental quality? protect endangered species? teach others about living organisms? write about living organisms?
If you answered yes to several of these questions, biology could be a promising career for you. Embarking on a career in biology has many paths; each with its own rewards and challenges. Which path you take will have as much to do with your personality as it does your intellectual curiosity and interests. Being a biologist can be a fulfilling and exciting profession if your own personal goals, talents and interests match the activities of biologists. What do biologists do?

    THE BIOLOGY MAJOR AT ST. OLAF:
    Majors may decide to concentrate their courses in one of several areas and should consult with the departmental staff members regarding a plan of study. However, the introductory work for all area is the same. The biology staff recommends the following courses:
    First Year
    First Semester
    Bio 125 (or Chem 125)
    Math 120 or 122
    Eng 111, Rel 121, or Gen Ed 111
    General Education
    Second Semester Bio 126 (or Chem 126) Elective (Math 126/128 or Stat 212) Rel 121, Eng 111, or Gen Ed 111 General Education Sophomore Year First Semester Chem 125 (or Bio 125) Bio 233 or 261, or course from multicellular organism group General Education General Education Second Semester Chem 126 (or Bio 126) Bio 233 or 261, or course from multicellular organism group General Education General Education Interims during the first two years are electives. Consult with an advisor regarding which courses to select. The appropriate beginning courses in chemistry (125 or 121), mathematics (120, 122, 126), and physics (124) are determined for each student by the departments involved. Some variations in the above progress may be recommended after consultation by the student with her/his advisor. Bio 125 does require some knowledge of chemistry. See the College Catalog for additional information. Some students may wish, and perhaps should, complete the foreign language requirement in their first year. Deviation from the program recommended above should be worked out carefully with one's advisor. If you do not have a biology faculty member as an advisor, please feel free to contact any biology faculty member for advice. If majoring in biology you should transfer to a biology advisor by the end of your sophomore year.

30. Undergraduate Program Overview
Students must earn a grade of at least “C” in all biology courses applied Students who wish to prepare to teach biology in the secondary schools of
http://biology.memphis.edu/undergrad.html
UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM The Department of Biology strives to produce graduates who are thoroughly and broadly trained in biology. The department provides a curriculum designed to give students a diversity of opportunities for theoretical and applied study and to prepare them for advanced studies in graduate and professional schools, to teach the natural sciences at the secondary level, or to enter the job force upon graduation BACHELOR OF SCIENCE DEGREE 1. To qualify for a Bachelor of Science degree, a student must complete a minimum of 120 semester hours with a grade point average of 2.0. Of the 120 semester hours required, no more than 42 semester hours in biology will be counted toward the degree. At least 42 semester hours must be in courses from the upper division (3000 and 4000 level). For information concerning additional requirements see the University of Memphis Undergraduate Catalog (http://academics.memphis.edu/bulletin/). 2. Beginning freshmen who have completed an advanced biology course in high school may apply to the chair of the Department of Biology during the semester preceding enrollment for advanced placement. Freshmen scoring 3 on the Advanced Placement Test will receive credit hours for BIOL 1010/1011, BIOL 1020/1021. Those scoring 4 or higher will receive credit hours for BIOL 1110/1111, BIOL 1120/1121. Any required or elective course applied toward the major or minor may be repeated once to earn a minimum grade of "C." To repeat a course a second time, a student must apply for and receive special permission from the department Undergraduate Studies Committee. Application information is available in the Biology office. A student may not repeat a course three times in order to receive a grade of "C."

33. Academic Rules That Affect Undergraduates
Students may receive no more than 12 credits for biology courses numbered 199 and below. Credit for course work at other schools
http://www.lsa.umich.edu/biology/AcademicRulesAffectUndergrads.asp
ACADEMIC RULES THAT AFFECT UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS Double concentrations Students may not pursue a double concentration of any program offered within the Departments of MCDB, EEB or the Program in Biology. These concentrations include: Cell and Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Biology, General Biology, Plant Biology, and Neuroscience. Students also may not pursue a double concentration in CMB and Biochemistry, because these concentrations have too many courses in common. Students may pursue a double concentration in Chemistry and any of the other concentrations listed above. Waiver of requirements Concentration prerequisites or required courses cannot be waived! However, substitutions for prerequisites may be approved if the student demonstrates that he or she has mastered the topic of a prerequisite. For instance, a student who did not achieve a high enough score on the AP exam to receive credit for calculus, but none the less elected Math 215 and received a passing grade, should have 215 approved as satisfying the calculus requirement. Advanced Placement credit for high school work Students who receive a score of 4 or 5 on the Biology AP test will receive credit for Biology 162, and are eligible to register for any course listing introductory biology as a prerequisite.

http://www.wofford.edu/biology/recsForHealthCareer.asp
Recommendations for Students Planning to Enter a Health Career The medical schools, rightly or wrongly, are placing emphasis on MCAT scores. They have not solicited the opinions of the undergraduate institutions and we have no control over their requirements. To be a strong candidate, you want to get that score as high as possible. Almost all premed students are using some form of test preparation prior to taking the MCAT. Some use professional services (e.g., Kaplan) and some try to do it on their own. Also, Drs. Moss and Bass offer a review course during some interims. According to the Kaplan people 55% of all MCAT takers sign up for their course. If you want to compete, you have to play the game . That means, prepare before you take the test. You can obtain information on the Kaplan course by calling them at 1-800-KAP-TEST. The Kaplan course, like any other review procedure, requires a commitment of your time. Be certain you are willing to make this commitment before you spend the money for the course.
Normally, you should take the MCAT / DAT / VCAT as soon as you have completed the necessary science courses (Bio. core, physiology, chemistry, organic chemistry, physics). This time is normally

Environmental Studies-Biology Minor: Biology Certification to Teach Biology Students interested in a major offered by the Biology Department are required to complete a Major Declaration Form in consultation with a faculty member. Biology Major Students entering St. Lawrence with an interest in biology should enroll in Biology 101 and 102 during their first year. They should also seek early advisement by a biology faculty member. The current minimum requirements for the biology major are two semesters of Biology 101-102 (1.5 units each) plus an additional six units of biology courses. At least two units of these courses must be at the 300 or 400 level. Half-unit biology offerings may also be used to fulfill this requirement. In addition to the biology course units mentioned above, the major also requires courses in Chemistry (Chem 103 and 104) and Math (Math 113 or two semesters of calculus). Students are encouraged to take units of independent research, seminars or tutorials, especially during their senior year. However, to ensure breadth in course work, only one senior-level research unit can count toward the minimum requirements of the major. Only one unit of senior-level research will count toward the major requirement of two units at the 300 or 400 level. Also to ensure breadth, units of 381 or 382 will not count toward the minimum requirements of the major.

Issues identified were as follows:
  • The disparity that exists in course content for Allied Health (e.g. nursing) students vs. biology majors is a transfer problem in regard to course equivalency. The course numbering and credit length of similar courses may not match the pathway of instruction, especially in regards to transfer articulation. The completion of an AS degree for a biology major does not allow for a balance of Minnesota Transfer Curriculum core competencies to be completed (the AA degree). Many students are unprepared for introductory courses and/or are attempting to complete upper division courses without the knowledge/skills that the prerequisites should have provided. On-line courses may not be providing students with a working knowledge of scientific investigation that they would get through laboratory experiments/experiences.

Preparing for Medical School
Most medical schools require one year each of biology, physics, chemistry, and organic chemistry with laboratories. Most schools further require a year of college level mathematics and English. An Advanced Placement course from high school is not a substitute for any of these, but may be used to qualify for a higher level course in a particular department. Although not required by most medical schools, advanced biology courses with particular relevance to medicine such as biochemistry, cell biology and genetics may be helpful. Experience with computer science, statistics and psychology is becoming increasingly important to those who wish to engage in virtually any health career. The basic requirements for admission to medical school in the United States are listed below. Some require additional coursework. These requirements are listed in Medical School Admission Requirements as well as in medical school catalogs and are available in the Resource Library of Career Services at 1 Hillhouse Avenue.
