Did anyone take A&P then take Anatomy then Physiology? I took A&P I a few years ago but didn't do so hot. Would they replace this grade? Just wondering if anyone else there might have some input. Thanks 😀

At most of the schools in my area,

A&P is an allied health course and is not considered a science scourse.

Anatomy & Physiology are in the biology department.

They would not replace the grade since they are offered in different departments.
 
Most schools A&P is a lower level bio class, all 3 county colleges that I've attended state this. Granted it usually a 1000 or 100 level class.

In the aacomas it states biology as classes that count towards your GPA. This wouldn't be classified as a nursing class as its not in the nursing prefix. There is a thin grey line here and just looking for input.

Some people take A&P I and II for their physiology/anatomy.

Just wondering if anyone got grades replaced. Its a weird situation ...
 
I took A&P I my sophmore year. At my school, A&P I & II are pre-reqs for pharmacy and upper division nursing. it was 243 and 244. Only classes over 300 level can count towards biology degree credit. I enjoyed the class, but it was awful hard to only count as an elective. I had to take a Human Physiology class (460) in order to fulfill my graduation physiology requirement.
 
I'm taking A&P I/II at the local CC. I took human Phys about 10-11 years ago, so I figured it would help to retake the A&P course for basic systems refresher, and to boost my GPA a little. It's labeled as BIO 270/272 at the CC, but if I were to transfer to the local University, they would accept it as the equivalent of the 300-level human A&P offered through the biology department.

I can also take micro at the CC for a 300-level exchange, but that's all. The Gen chem/bio/physics are 200-level course exchanges, and organic chem is a 300-level exchange.

It's nice because all of these will count towards a 2nd degree in bio (which I think I might end up getting while in my glide year) AND count for AACOMAS/AMCAS BCMP credit.
