public health(HLTH) courses counting toward BCPM?

[jtimmer1]

So, I've looked around and can't really find any definitive information on this subject. I am minoring in Public Health and the courses have the HLTH prefix. Instinctively, I would think they are not counted, however they are dealing with subjects in health(and possibly the science thereof). Does AMCAS have a method of determining if these can be counted in the BCPM GPA, or do they just throw them out?

Here are a few courses and there titles:

HLTH 2101 Healthy Lifestyles
HLTH 4104 Epidemiology
PHIL 3228 Healthcare Ethics
(Yeah, one of them is a philosophy course dealing with healthcare ethics; I wonder if it would count too?)

I don't think Public Health counts as BCPM.

Public health courses do not count as BCPM

biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics =/= public health courses.
pub health is more social sciency than straight up hard science.

My public health biostatistics classes counted as BCMP (math).

My public health biostatistics classes counted as BCMP (math).

bio=biology
statistics=math

It's harder to make a case for the ones the OP listed.

These are not science courses.

Thanks for the replies. I didn't think they would count, I just wondered if anyone had a definitive answer.
