I am not sure what I should do here...

When entering the subject of a course you took, do you choose the subject that your school labeled it or the subject it fits into under the aacomas help page?

Example- Bioethics 5970

It is labeled as a BIO course on my transcript.
AACOMAS lists ethics coures under social/behavioral sciences.

I took a completely separate course that dealt w/ philosophical aspects of bioethics and is labeled as a philosophy course on my transcript. This class here was a "special topic" in biology course for seniors with a completely different focus.

What do ya think?

Thanks🙂
 
Nevermind. I overlooked "bioethics" und "other non science".

Not sure I agree with this classification for this particular course though...
 
If your university lists it as a BIO course, then I would label it as science.
