Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree (or its equivalent) from a regionally accredited college or university. There is no advantage to holding a BS rather than a BA, as long as you have completed the program’s prerequisites. Credit will only be given for prerequisite coursework earning a C or better. Applicants may apply with coursework still in progress; however, the Office of Admissions must receive all official transcripts showing completed coursework prior to matriculation. For the purpose of prerequisites, the Office of Admissions defines a “course” as either a quarter or semester term. Prerequisites are as follows: Mathematics (1 course), General Chemistry with lab (2 courses), Organic Chemistry (2 courses), General Biology with lab (2 courses), Physics (1 course), Social Science (2 courses, at least one course must be in general psychology), Humanities (2 courses at least one course must be English composition).
