Hi!

I noticed that a lot of schools require anatomy and physiology courses. My institution provides anatomy and physiology courses, but anatomy requires 3 pre-requisite courses (Anatomy lab requires 4 prereqs). I was wondering if I should take it at a community college since it does not require any pre-requisites. My advisor recommends taking it at my current institution but not sure if it is worth it.

Does taking a course at a community college affect my application? Does anybody have this kind of experience before?
 
It shouldn't affect you. I took 2 of 3 physics series at a community college while dual enrolled at my university and it didn't make any difference in my application since I interviewed at every school I applied.

What are the pre-reqs needed for A&P?
 
This is reassuring. I think I am going to take it in community college.

For anatomy course the pre-reqs are introductory kinesiology, biomechanics an human physiology.
