English Literature course in addition to an academic writing course (e.g. ENC, ENG).

Statistics is also strongly recommended (BIO 3012: Biostatistics, MATH 1100: Intro to Statistics, or PSY 2012: Statistics for the Social Sciences).

Biochemistry with or without lab (BIO 3061 and BIO 2061 respectively) is also strongly recommended.

Prospective pre-medical/pre-dental minors interested in enrolling in Principles of Biology I or II also need to complete the Biology Placement Exam, which is an online exam located on Blackboard.
