Important Pre Req Question

So the med school Biology pre req requirement is "one year of biology courses with labs" but it doesn't state that the classes have to be from the same series, so can you take a year worth of bio classes with labs from different series and that be satisfactory for the Bio pre req?

Most bio pre-req classes have labs with them, I believe. My school runs on quarter system, so our biology series only had 2 quarters that included a lab, so I fulfilled the year with a different course. As long as it falls under a biology course, it should be fine. You should confirm with a pre-health adviser or your college adviser to confirm that the lab fulfills it just in case though 😀

Thanks for the response! Any other thoughts?

I'm pretty sure if you have other biologies that are related then they will count (e.g. micro, phys, etc.) You might want to check though because specific schools may want specific courses

Any bio course would satisfy the requirement. You're not obligated to strictly take intro bio as long as you take upper level bio courses w/lab.
