Additional Information about the Premed Option (updated 12/8/09).

PHL 444 is not taught very many terms recently.  However, please 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. 

If you cannot schedule PHL 444 in a timely manner, any one of the following courses will be accepted as a replacement course for this ethics course to meet the requirements of the premed option in chemistry:

Note: Premed option students will need a course to fulfill the Bacc Core synthesis requirement for contemporary global issues if the substitute course is not listed as meeting GI. 

H 320  INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN DISEASE (3). Spring term 2010.  Bacc Core Synthesis STS.

H 364  DRUGS, SOCIETY AND HUMAN BEHAVIOR (3). Spring term 2010 & requires PSY 201 or 202.  Not a Bacc Core.

ANTH 383 INTRODUCTION TO MEDICAL ANTHROPOLOGY (3). Bacc Core Synthesis, GI.

SOC 350  Health Illness and Society (3).  requires SOC 204 or SOC 204H .  Winter & Spring 2010 (only ecampus spring). Not a Bacc Core.

HSTS 417 History of Medicine (4).  WIC and Bacc Core Synthesis STS.  Ecampus Winter & Oncampus Spring 2010.

PHL 448  NATIVE AMERICAN PHILOSOPHIES (not offered 09 academic yr)

PHL 474  PHILOSOPHY OF BIOLOGY (not offered 09 academic yr)

ANTH 483 Medical Anthropology (not offered 09 academic yr); 

SOC 432  Sociology of Aging (not offered 09 academic yr)

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. PHL 444 in option meets the synthesis requirement for contemporary global issues.  If you subsitute another course for PHL 444 from the above list and it does not meet the GI course designation, you will need to take another course in addition to this that does.

4. BI 314 should be taken before BI 311 but it is no longer an enforced prerequisite for BI 311.

5. 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 and Dr. Daniel Myles are the chemistry advisers for most premed students (contacts).
