Additional Information about the Premed Option.

PHL 444 is not taught very many terms recently.  If you cannot schedule this course, any one of the following courses will be accepted as a replacement course for the ethics course to meet the requirements of the premed option in chemistry:

PHL 448  NATIVE AMERICAN PHILOSOPHIES

PHL 474  PHILOSOPHY OF BIOLOGY

H 320  INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN DISEASE

H 364  DRUGS, SOCIETY AND HUMAN BEHAVIOR

ANTH 483  Medical Anthropology

SOC 432  Sociology of Aging

SOC 350  Health Illness and Society

HSTS 417 History of Medicine

Students need to be sure that they take a course to fulfill the synthesis requirement for contemporary global issues.

Check the schedule of classes to see what terms PHL 444 is offered.    If it is offered, we believe it is the best course to take. 

Also see policies

1.  If students choose the analytical chemistry sequence CH 421, 422, 461, only one inorganic course (3 cr), CH 411, is required.  CH 411 and CH 412 are a sequence so that CH 411 is the specified inorganic chemistry course.

2. CH 463 is the recommended WIC course. If CH 462 is taken as the WIC course or an extra lab, CH 422 is strongly recommended as a co-requisite with CH 462. 

3. CH 428 Instrumental Analysis (4) is an approved substitute for CH 324 but is not currently taught.

4. PHL 444 in option meets the synthesis requirement for contemporary global issues.

5. BI 314 should be taken before BI 311 and eventually BI 314 will be an enforced prerequisite for BI 311.

6. The courses in the premed option were recommended by the Premed advisor in the College of Science (Ms. Chere Pereira). Students should avail themselves of the resources available in the college of science about the medical profession (Pre-medicine, bottom right of page). Students with a premed option usually have an adviser who is aware of some of the special considerations for students pursing the medical profession.  In chemistry Dr. Jeff Walker is the chemistry adviser for most premed students (contacts). Dr. Jennifer Travers in chemistry also serves as a premed advisers for students in other majors.
