I am starting as a freshman as a private Jesuit university this fall and fortunatley for me, with my h.s gpa and SAT scores, I qualified for an Honors Program which has a curriculum that focuses on philosophy and theology (If I finish this program successfully I get a double major in Philosophy). Basically its 6-9 credits of philiosophy/theology courses a semester along with the courses I am required for my major, Biology. In my college's catalog, they list curriculums for all majors basically outlining what courses what you need to take in what year/semester. Here is what our biology curriculum looks like (*means courses required by honors program):
1st Year:
General Biology I & II-4.5 Credits
General Chemistry I & II-4.5
*9 Credits of Philosophy/Theology Courses
2nd Year:
Orgo Chem I & II-4.5 Credits
Bio Electives- 4.5
Calc I & II-4 each
*6 Credits of Philosophy/Theology Courses
3rd Year:
Bio Electives-4 Credits
General Physics I & II- 4 Credits
*9 Credits of Philosophy/Theology Courses
This means I take physics in the third year, though it is said that you should take all pre-reqs by the end of your sophomore year in order to be ready to take the MCATs in your junior year. I dont want to give up on this honors program but it leaves me no room to move classes around. Is it still possible to take the MCATS junior year if I am still enrolled in physics? Would a MCAT review course in the summer after my sophomore year still be possible?
