Second Writing Course

A Second Writing Requirement approved by the College of Arts and Sciences. This course must be taken after completion of 60 credit hours, completed with a minimum grade of C-, and the section enrolled must be designated as satisfying the requirement in the academic term completed.

Academic Standards:

Students must demonstrate satisfactory progress towards the degree and must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 by the end of their 4th semester in order to remain in the program and earn a BS in Human Physiology. Students not meeting the minimum GPA requirement will be eligible to change into another major (e.g., BS in Exercise Science).

Electives

After required courses are completed, sufficient elective credits must be taken to meet the 120 credit requirements for the degree. Students interested in attending medical school are strongly encouraged to choose from a narrowed list of electives to fulfill admission requirements and prepare to take the MCAT. Students will be encouraged to consult with their advisor to receive a planning guide.
