Taking College Bio I with lab yet is for non majors.

It turns out I screwed up when registering for class. I ended up registering for college bio for non bio majors. The class that I was supposed to take was called principles of biology I. This doesn't make any sense to me. Why do they have two classes both having labs, both teaching gen bio, but one geared for bio majors? The question is, should I continue with this course or just focus on my GRE's and register for summer pre requisites? Advice would be appreciated thanks.

I'm intrigued as the first description seems to indicate you are in the correct course for "health career" majors. Also, from the course number and description, you might actually be ok. Do you know what PT schools you are going to apply to yet? If so, contact them ASAP and ask for approval for this course. If it's an in state school or close school, they have likely already made a decision on this particular course and whether or not they will accept it.

Thx for the reply...

I haven't called but looked up numerous requirements for various schools. For the most part I haven't seen a lot of stress for biology as long general 1 and 2 with a lab. I'm making calls today.
