Behavioral Science Coursework

[adriano710]

So I am planning on applying next cycle and have come across some schools that require Behavioral Science credits. For example, I believe MUCOM requires 3 credits of Psychology and 3 credits of Sociology. Instead of taking Clinical Immunology this upcoming semester, should I take maybe a Psychology 101 course so that I will be able to apply to these schools? How important is it that I take one of these courses?

I know most schools do not require behavioral science but is it beneficial?

Thanks!

I think it's very beneficial to take these classes if they require them only if you are truly set on applying to those schools

MUCOM is the only school I've come across that requires sociology, unless this is a top choice of yours, I wouldn't both with sociology and take a course that interests you more (like immunology). I haven't paid much attention to psych requirements since I took many psych courses, but I think more school look for that so psych 101 I think would be much more useful than sociology!
