*Students will be block registered into Introduction to Space Sciences<br />
(SPS 1020). If a student places into Calculus 2 (MTH 1002), he/she is<br />
encouraged to take Physics 1 (PHY 1001) in the first semester and SPS 1020<br />
(or SPS 1010) later in the program.<br />
Physics – Premedical Physics, B.S. _______________<br />
Major Code: 7139 Degree Awarded: Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Science<br />
Age Restriction: N Admission status: undergraduate<br />
Delivery Mode/s: classroom only Location/s: main campus<br />
This program <strong>of</strong>fers the courses needed to meet the entrance<br />
requirements <strong>of</strong> essentially all schools <strong>of</strong> medicine, dentistry, osteopathic<br />
medicine, podiatry and optometry. The premedical adviser<br />
organizes a premedical evaluation committee to provide evaluation<br />
letters for students applying to medical school. Students graduating<br />
with premedical physics degrees have very high acceptance rates<br />
into medical and pr<strong>of</strong>essional schools. Note this program is also an<br />
excellent choice for the student interested in a prelaw curriculum.<br />
Degree Requirements<br />
Candidates for the Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Science in Physics – Premedical<br />
Physics must complete the course requirements listed in the<br />
following curriculum. Because the subject matter <strong>of</strong> general<br />
physics forms a critically important foundation for all advanced<br />
physics courses, the minimum grade for satisfying the prerequisite<br />
requirements for a physics major is a grade <strong>of</strong> C for each <strong>of</strong> the<br />
following courses: PHY 1001, PHY 2002, PHY 2003, PHY 2091<br />
and PHY 2092.<br />
