Classes to take at Summer Program for BioEngineer?

[acupoftea]

<p>So I want to take class before matriculating into the class of '13 at UCLA next year as a bioengineer. What class should I take that would be good for preparation?
I didn't take AP Bio in high school, so i was considering on taking Life science courses.. either Introduction to Molecular Biology taught by TABANCAY or Cells, Tissues, and Organs with J. Esdin or Genetics with Boelter or Lakretz? There aren't any bioengineering classes I can take right now.
I don't really understand the prerequisites:</p>

<p>Intro to Molecular Bio:
1. Enforced requisite: Chemistry 14A or 20A. Not open for credit to students with credit for course 2W. Introduction to basic principles of cell structure, organization of cells into tissues and organs, and principles of organ systems. </p>

<p>Cells, Tissues, and Organs
1. Enforced requisites: course 2 or 2W, Chemistry 14C or 30A or former course 10D or 30. Introduction to basic principles of biochemistry and molecular biology</p>

<p>Genetics:
1. Enforced requisite: course 3. Principles of Mendelian inheritance and chromosomal basis of heredity in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, recombination, biochemical genetics, mutation, DNA, genetic code, gene regulation, genes in populations.</p>

<p>Noooo idea what that means... this is off of <a href="http://www%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www&lt;/a>. bioeng. ucla. edu/ undergraduate/ currentstudents/courses.html #lifescience
I took AP chem in HS and got a 5, so does that allow me to take the Intro to Molecular Bio class??</p>

<p>Please tell me quick because there's very little space left!
Also, are there any other classes I could take that would juts help me? Like Health science, neuroscience, medicine classes? I thought it'd be fun to take Medicine: Introduction to Integrative East-West Medicine but I don't know whether or not it would help my major.</p>

<p>Also, can anyone tell me a little about how to pay for this? How much money does it cost to enroll in a summer program?</p>

<p>Just read the Bioengineering website carefully. You cannot take Bioengineering classes until you have finished prequisites. When it says Course 2 required, it means for LS 3 you need LS 2. </p>

<p>[UCLA</a> | Department of Bioengineering](<a href=“http://www.bioeng.ucla.edu/undergraduate/currentstudents/courses.html]UCLA”>http://www.bioeng.ucla.edu/undergraduate/currentstudents/courses.html)</p>

<p>Sample course plan: <a href=“http://www.bioeng.ucla.edu/undergraduate/currentstudents/curriculum.html[/url]”>http://www.bioeng.ucla.edu/undergraduate/currentstudents/curriculum.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>What are the class numbers? Look at the bioengineering course website and take a peek at the curriculum. You also copied down the names and descriptions of the classes incorrectly, so I’d recheck that. Intro to Mol Bio is LS 3. (They should be listed by number, not all as 1. as you just listed here)</p>

<p>It seems like these are LS 2 3 and 4. These classes are required by your major, unless you can petition to have 20A credit you won’t be able to take them. LS 2 3 4 must be taken in order. LS 1 at any time, it’s not required for BE but pre-meds do take them. </p>

<p>As for summer, search for the UCLA summer website. It’s paid for by the unit - this is pretty readily available enformation.</p>
