So is Itchyology considered a BCPM class?

It's the study of fish....

What about marine ecology?

 

[Shibbyboi182]

the ecology you can probably put as biology unless i'm mistaken. not really sure on the fishies. maybe the same?

 

[JESSFALLING]

If they are listed under bio, then absolutely.... if not, I'd classify them as biology anyway, since the content is >50% biology.

Ps... How is Itchyology?? Is it hard?

 

[INOHELP]

can't say.. didn't take it yet.

Trying to avoid any classes that doesn't help my BCPM low gpa..

So both those classes are required upper divs from my major: evolutionary and ecological biology..

So i'm guessing its ok?

What about introduction to marine science?

It almost feels like these classes can fit under the Natural & Physical Sciences (NPSC) part of the AMCAS..

Heres some descriptions:

Intro to marine science (EE BIOL 109)
- Introduction to physical and biological world of 70 percent of planet: oceans. Designed to be integrative, with focus on geological evolution of seas, physical and chemical properties of water, and how these abiotic processes shape ecology and evolution of marine organisms and environments.

Ichthyology( EE BIOL 112)
-Biology of freshwater and marine fishes, with emphasis on their evolution, systematics, morphology, zoogeography, and ecology. Field trips to examine fishes of Southern California shoreline, tidepools, and coastal streams.

Bio is BCPM... and wow... so happy I studied humans mostly.

Hurray for Physiology majors.

If it's labeled as Bio... it's Bio.

How about this one?

The class is offered by the Environmental Science, Policy, and Management dept but the course title is "Insects and Human Society." (Though ESPM isn't BCPM, Entomology is BCPM)

The course description is:

An introduction to the diversity and natural history of insects in natural and human environments. The course examines the wonder of insects, their interactions with the living world, and their contributions to and impacts on human society.

Would this class be considered entomology, and as a result be BCPM, or is it too non-sciency?

I really don't think it would count.

All bio undergrads should learn about the wonder of insects. They are quite wonderful you see. But yeah, I had a strong feeling it wouldn't be BCPM; I just wanted to get other ppl's opinions before I dropped it. They just don't make it easy to boost your BCPM these days... 😳
