Application to the program is a competitive process. Due to program accreditation requirements not all students who apply to the program are selected. The application process takes place at the end of each Spring Semester. Note: general education courses should be taken each semester as needed by the student in order to fulfill University requirements. Finally, always check the University Bulletin for prerequisite courses such as CHEM 111 and BIOL 330.
