Prerequisites by College

*********   PREREQUISITE CHANGE   *********

All Sciences (biology, A&P, Microbiology and Chemistry courses) MUST BE IN PERSON AND NOT ONLINE. Science prerequisites have changed as of Nov. 1, 2024.  Previous science pre-requisites will be taken through the fall of 2029, (5 years from now), which is the full length of time they would have been acceptable had the prerequisites not changed.  Anyone starting prerequisite courses in 2025 should only take  the new prerequisites or the second in the series of the biology or chemistry courses they began before the change. They too will only be accepted through 2029.
