1 * One of these courses must be a University Seminar;
the literature University Seminar in English 13186 is
recommended (see note 6).
2 To fulfill the medical school requirements of two
semesters of English, students are required to take
FYC 32000-level composition and one literature course taught in English. The literature course can
be either a literature University Seminar in English
13186 or an upper-level literature course offered
by the English Department and approved by the
Department of Preprofessional Studies. Thus, if a
student’s University Seminar requirement is met
by one of the literature options (in English), then
the student will not be required to take upper-level
English literature. Note, for this major only, a course
in fine arts is not acceptable for the University literature/ fine arts requirement. (A fine arts course will
count as a general elective.)
3 The choice by the student of elective courses
in science for the program in preprofessional studies
will be based upon the requirements of the professional
schools and upon the lists of courses suggested
or recommended by those schools in which the
student is interested; the choice will be based also
upon the advice and counseling of the chair of the
department. From the Medical and Dental School
Requirements Books, the following courses would be
the most highly recommended in addition to the five
basic science courses, giving the student applicant
the best science background to be a most attractive
candidate to any school to which he or she wishes
to apply: biochemistry, genetics, physiology, cell
biology, developmental biology, and microbiology.
Additional courses in higher mathematics, statistics
and computer science are recommended for qualified
students. Students not only must fulfill their
requirements but, in the case of the natural sciences
(mathematics, chemistry, biology and physics), also
are strongly encouraged to follow the sequence of
courses as listed. This sequence is designed in the
light of health-related professional school requirements
so that one course builds on knowledge
gained from a prior course, even one from a different
department; it is also structured to maintain
a rigorous course load of at least two such courses
per semester, with some adjustment possible in the
senior year. Summer sessions, transfer credits and
other modification in the regular curriculum should
not be allowed to disturb this sequence of courses in
the natural sciences without good reason. |
