Hi, I was looking into TOUROCOM's master program, and I know they start in the summer, I was wondering if anyone can tell me what a typical schedule would look like, such as what classes you would take and what time you would start and end class. I know classes are from monday-thursday, any information will be helpful.

Admissions Requirements
The Touro University Nevada Medical Health Sciences (MHS) Program is a rigorous premedical postbaccalaureate program that will evaluate and identify students capable of handling the challenges of first year medical school. Hence, the minimum course requirements for admission into the program are closely similar to those required for admission to medical school.
The requirements for application to the MHS program include a bachelor's degree, the minimum course requirements listed below, and a Science GPA of 2.5. There are no MCAT requirements for application to the program this year. However, admission to the MHS program is competitive and applicants with higher MCAT scores, Science GPAs, and number of science credits will be given priority for interview and admission.
The minimum course requirements include a grade of C or better in the following courses:
* 8 semester units of Biology/Zoology with lab.
* 8 semester units of Inorganic Chemistry with lab.
* 8 semester units of Organic Chemistry and/or Biochemistry with lab.
* 4 semester units of Math/Computer Science.
* 8 semester units of Physics.
* 2 courses of College English.
* 2 courses of Behavioral Science.
All candidates must hold US Citizenship or Permanent Resident Status at the time of application.
The early deadline for application to the MHS program is April 30, 2010. Applications received on or before April 30, 2010 will be reviewed immediately and applicants will be interviewed and evaluated for early admission into the program. However, applications to the MHS program will continue to be accepted up to June 30, 2010 and successful applicants will be included in the waitlist.

Does anyone from the past yr or two of TouroCOM NY have a sample of schedule for the Master's year??
I'm dying to know because I have to plan a newborn and babysitter around it..............
Like days of classes as well, if possible. Just to get an idea of what it's like.
