I don't know, but I would assume that they would have to be graded. Most schools have a minimum grade required for the prereqs to count. Good luck!:luck:
 
I highly doubt women's studies, unless its about the neuro-physiology of the female brain...J/K. Beh sci is human/animal behavioral/psych classes for the most part. Like "Learning & Beh." or "Biological Psych." etc.

Beh. Sci was my UG major, so at least i don't have ALL the prereqs to take (just every other one, LOL).

I don't see women's studies in this list. FYI: Women's studies, men's studies, African American studies, Martian studies, Vulcan studies, whatever "studies" you want to include, are usually HISTORY classes which fall right into the category of humanities, not behavioral science.

Wouldn't African American Studies fall under ethic studies? I know at my schools it falls under social science
