¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Requirements

¶¡ÏãÔ°AV students applying for admission to the biomedical physiology minor program must complete the following courses with a grade of C- or better.

Students complete all of

• BISC 101 General Biology (4)
• CHEM 121 General Chemistry and Laboratory I (4)

and one of

• MATH 150 Calculus I with Review (4)
• MATH 151 Calculus I (3)
• MATH 154 Calculus I for the Biological Sciences (3)

and one of

• PHYS 101 Physics for the Life Sciences I (3)
• PHYS 120 Mechanics and Modern Physics (3)
• PHYS 125 Mechanics and Special Relativity (3)
  
• PHYS 140 Studio Physics - Mechanics and Modern Physics (4)

Applicants are selected based on an admission grade point average (GPA) calculated over these five required courses, together with any of the following courses.

• BISC 102 General Biology (4)
• CHEM 122 General Chemistry II (2)
• CHEM 281 Organic Chemistry I (4)
• KIN 205 Introduction to Human Physiology (3)
• MBB 222 Molecular Biology and Biochemistry (3)
• MBB 231 Cellular Biology and Biochemistry (3)

and one of

• MATH 152 Calculus II (3)
• MATH 155 Calculus II for the Biological Sciences (3)

and one of

• PHYS 102 Physics for the Life Sciences II (3)
• PHYS 121 Optics, Electricity and Magnetism (3)
• PHYS 126 Electricity, Magnetism and Light (3)
• PHYS 141 Studio Physics - Optics, Electricity and Magnetism (4)

Apply for admission as soon as the five required courses have been completed. Unsuccessful applicants may complete any of the 8 additional courses to improve the admission GPA. A C- grade or better is required in each course used for the admission application. Those not meeting the admission GPA upon completion of all eight additional courses will be advised of alternatives. For students transferring some core courses from another post-secondary institution, only courses completed at ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV (and not previously completed elsewhere) are used in the admission GPA. Normally, at least 15 units from core courses are required as a basis for the GPA calculation. Exceptions must be approved by the department.

Application Procedure

Students should complete a program approval form available at the biomedical physiology & kinesiology general office and submit it to the academic advisor by June 1 for fall term approval, October 1 for spring term approval, or February 1 for summer term approval.

Prerequisite and Required Course Grades

Students enrolling in KIN courses must have a grade of C- or better in prerequisite courses. Students enrolled in the biomedical physiology minor must have a grade of C- or better in all required courses.
