Biological Science. One full year covering at least eight semester hours (12 quarter hours). We recommend the eight semester hours of credit be in zoology and they include four hours of an advanced course such as animal physiology, comparative anatomy, or developmental biology. However, four hours each of zoology and biology are acceptable. A maximum of four hours of credit in general biology will be accepted. All courses should include laboratory.

So im assuming this means that my second semester biology (BS111) in a BS110/BS111 sequence will not count towards this requirement. Is Human Physiology a zoology course? What if the zoology courses dont have a lab? Answer if you know, im not in the mood to call the admissions office.

Yes...I believe your Human Phys will count. Also, note that this is just a recommendation and the actual requirement is just 8 semesters of biology. You should be fine. I have not taken an actual zoology course either and I have been accepted and told I did not need any additional coursework. No need to worry.

Hello. I did my undergrad at U of M and I am gonna do my dent school there in the fall.. SO, for the Bio prerecs, Pretty much any bio class will work. I did bio 162 (intro bio) and physiology, but anatomy, genetics, microbio, cell bio will work too. DOnt take zoology, that stupid.
