The Human Biological Sciences option is for students planning careers in the health science field. The following is a partial list of careers: physical therapy, medicine, dentistry, physician assistant, alternative medicine, and public health offices. This option would also work well for students seeking entry-level health careers without additional schooling.
There are two four year plans for the Option in Human Biological Sciences: one or two years of chemistry. If you plan to apply to a graduate or professional school in a health-related field (medical, dental, chiropractic, etc.), you should plan to complete the two year sequence in chemistry. In addition, you may want to add coursework in biochemistry (either BIOC 380 or 481 - 482). If you plan to pursue nursing or a graduate program in physical therapy, the one year sequence of chemistry is sufficient. The two year plan is the more flexible option.
Four year plan with one year of Chemistry (for pre-physical therapy students)
Four year plan with two years of Chemistry (for graduate or medical school preparation)
