Prerequisite Completion

  • All pre-requisite courses must be completed with a grade of "C" or better.  We do not accept grades for any science courses 10 years or older.  However, If you are able to prove advanced coursework or career use of the scientific information that supports your mastery of the content covered in these courses, you may submit (along with your application) a letter of petition.
  • The Office of Professional Admissions evaluates transcripts and all grades listed on all transcripts are calculated for a total combined GPA.
  • **No more than one (1) required prerequisite course may remain to be completed by the end of the Autumn term of the academic year in which you apply; that course must be completed by the end of Winter Quarter or Spring Semester of the academic year in which you apply.

**example: If you are applying for Fall 2012 admission into the program, you are required to complete the majority of your coursework by Fall Quarter/Fall Semester of 2011.  Applicants are allowed to have one (1) required course to complete during Winter quarter/Spring Semester.
