Application Requirements

  1. Complete All Prerequisite Coursework
    Each course must be completed with a minimum grade of 2.5 or higher, and an overall cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher for all prerequisite courses. Our admissions process awards points for completed prerequisites, and those in progress cannot be granted points. This means that your application may be considered less competitive compared to candidates who have completed all their prerequisites by the time of application submission.

  • BIO& 241: Anatomy & Physiology I (5 credits)
