*Medical schools also require one full year (2 semesters) of other upper division science courses. Genetics is recommended, but may be replaced with other upper division science courses, i.e. Histology, Cell Biology, Advanced Human Physiology, HAS 3230, HAS 4400 etc. (Please note: Health Administrative Services or other Health Science classes may not fulfill the upper division science requirements of all medical and professional programs.)
**While MCAT prep courses are not required, they are strongly encouraged for optimal MCAT preparation.
