¹In addition to BIOL 110 -111 with Labs, students may also wish to consider BIOL 141 - BIOL 142 with Labs as these courses may be required for some graduate programs in the allied health professions.

²The selection of a First Year Seminar may fulfill requirements both for the First Year Seminar and a General Education Requirement. Thus, the First Year Seminar will not add to the total credits for the semester. Talk with your advisor if you have any questions.

³Students with a guaranteed seat in the DPT should consider an advanced PSYC course (PSYC 225 or PSYC 238 ), BIOL 245 with lab, and PHYS 121/PHYS 121L which are prerequisite courses for the DPT program.

** Includes a Community-Based Learning Project, coordinated via the department and faculty mentors.
