Human Physiology - Premed Qs

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I’m thinking of applying for the 2008 - 2009 year as a freshman. I’m interested in the human physiology program and when I looked at the curriculum…they already layed out four classes per semester that were required for the major. Does each schedule only consist of four classes or is the “curriculum” that I saw just for the requirements…I want to minor in Spanish and take some other really cool courses offered but can’t seem to find information on whether I could…The curriculum I’m referring to is this: </p>

<p>I know it gives space for 4 semester electives…but I would need more</p>

<p>Thanks for a response

<p>Yeah I'm basically in the same situation. I will be a freshman this September and was accepted into the six-year accelerated athletic training / doctoral physical therapy program. I was curious about my cirriculum as well and found somethin similar to what you found and wasn't sure if I could work a minor in...</p>

<p>If you notice on the very bottom of the page in italics it notes that each class is four credits unless otherwise noted. So yeah if for example you take a look at your fall semester of freshman year, the cirriculum calls for..</p>

<p>Biology I (4 credits)
General Chemistry (4 credits)
Writing Seminar (4 credits)
Intro to Health and Rehabilitation Sciences (2 credits)
PDP Activity (2 credits)
Freshman Experience Seminar (0 credits)</p>

<p>..That's a 16 credit course load and that's just about all you're gonna want to commit to especially as a freshman. I'll actually be takin an 18 credit course load with clinical obligations in addition to that. So basically a minor isn't really possible unless you come in with college credits you may earn over the summer or somethin..</p>

<p>also, do you know what PDP is?</p>

<p>PDP is the phys ed/dance/sports classes. They're one or two credits and include everything from tap dancing to rock climbing to weight lifting to rowing.</p>
