Required Courses
Elective Courses
Students must complete 10 credits of elective coursework. We require pre-med students to take PHSL 6602 Biomedical Career Pathways as one of their elective credits in the fall semester.
Students are welcome to take courses not on the pre-approved lists below by seeking approval to count the course toward the degree before registering for the course. You can search the Schedule of Classes for offerings each semester. To get approval, you should email the course description to the program director. Some courses may also require approval from the instructor or from the department to which the course belongs (i.e., Physiology students may not have registration priority for courses in other departments). If the Physiology program director approves a course as an elective to count toward your degree, your ability to enroll in the course is at the discretion of the course instructor and the department/program to which the course belongs.
Electives might not be offered every semester, or could be offered in different semesters than listed below. Search the Schedule of Classes for electives offered each semester. Current students may also view the schedule on MyAccess. Note that certain listed courses may be canceled due to low registration.
