Chemistry 1012, and 1020; Computer Science 1000; Physics 1001, 1002,
1003, 1004, 1005, 1006, 1007, and 1008. Students must choose at least
three hours from Biological Sciences and at least three hours from
Chemistry, Earth and Environmental Sciences, or Physics to meet this
and the College of Sciences Degree Requirement. Mathematics 1140
may be used as a science elective.
4
Students may substitute Computer Science 1060, 1201, or 1581 and 1583;
doing so reduces the total science elective credit by three hours and
increases the electives credit by three hours.
5
These
social science courses must be chosen from outside psychology;
six of the 12 hours must be numbered 2000 or above.
Minor in Psychology
For an undergraduate minor in psychology, a minimum of 18 credit
hours is required, including Psychology 1000 and at least two 4000-
level courses. Note that there are only two 4000 level psychology
courses (4510 and 4530) that students may take without having completed
Psychology 1310 and 2300, and these two courses may not be
offered each semester. For a student transferring from another university,
at least nine of the 18 hours must be earned at UNO. A student
may not use credit in both Psychology 1500 and 1520 toward the minor.
A grade of C or better in psychology courses must be achieved in order
to have the minor listed on the student transcript.
Honors in Psychology
An honors program is available to superior students majoring in
psychology. Successful completion of the program results in graduation
with Honors in Psychology. For admission to the program, a student
must have grade-point averages of at least 3.25 overall and at least 3.5
in psychology courses and must have permission of the department
and the Honors Program director. Before graduation, the student must
take six hours of Senior Thesis (Psychology 3099), resulting in an
acceptable honors thesis.
Pre-Professional Studies
Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental Programs
A student who is interested in medicine or dentistry as a profession
should select a degree program which will adequately prepare him
or her for entry into professional school yet provide ample opportunity
to pursue additional interests in varied academic disciplines.
Most schools stress a four-year degree program as the best possible
preparation. A student may major in the subject of his or her choice;
however, the student and the advisor must be sure that the major
program selected either includes those courses required by the medical
or dental school or offers sufficient free electives to include 50 or 60
hours of science. The pre-medical/ pre-dental advisor in the College
of Sciences should be consulted as soon as possible after the student
enters the University, and such consultation is encouraged on a regular
basis thereafter.
The following are the required courses for entry into LSU and
Tulane medical schools to be included in 90 hours of academic work:
Subject
Cr. Hrs.
Biology 1071, 1073, 1081, 1083 8

The following is a curriculum recommended for all pre-medical or
pre-dental students for the freshman year. Programs of study in the
remaining years will be designed in consultation with an advisor in
the student’s major department.

The
mathematics courses must be selected in accordance with the
requirements of the student’s major field of concentration and placement
test scores.

Elective
hours must be chosen from courses satisfying the general
degree requirements of the University and/or from required courses
in the proposed major.
Pre-Pharmacy
UNO offers coursework to prepare a student to apply for admission
to the College of Pharmacy at Xavier University in New Orleans
or to the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences at the University
of Louisiana at Monroe. Approximately two years of college work in
specified areas is required to be eligible for admission to either program.
A student interested in pharmacy should consult with the prepharmacy
advisor during his or her first semester at UNO. Additional
information about the pre-pharmacy curriculum may be obtained in
the office of the College of Sciences (1100 Science Building).
Pre-Veterinary Medicine
UNO offers coursework to prepare a student to apply for admission
to the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine. To be eligible for admission,
a student must complete a minimum of 66 credit hours of specified
college work. A student interested in veterinary medicine should consult
with the pre-veterinary advisor during his or her first semester at
UNO. Additional information about the pre-veterinary medicine curriculum
may be obtained in the office of the College of Sciences (1100
Science Building).
Pre-Allied Health Programs
A student planning to enter any of the following programs should
contact the appropriate institution during his or her first semester
at UNO for detailed information concerning admission. A list of the
addresses of these institutions is available in the office of the College
of Sciences (1100 Science Building). Since all programs involve
competitive admission and each division or school determines its own
requirements, completion of the courses listed below is no guarantee
of admission. Since admission requirements for these programs
change frequently, students should obtain updated advising checklists
from the College of Sciences office. Upon completion of the degree
requirements for any of these programs, the institution itself, not UNO,
awards the degree.
Pre-Allied Dental Fields
Allied dental fields include Dental Hygiene and Dental Laboratory
Technology. A student planning to enter either of these two programs
should contact the Office of Student Affairs at the LSU School of Dentistry
during his or her first semester at UNO for detailed information
about the programs including admission requirements. Both programs
involve competitive admission with each program determining its own
admission requirements. Upon completion of the degree requirements
for either of the programs, the institution itself, not UNO, awards the
degree. A student interested in a degree in either program should contact
the respective program coordinator at LSU School of Dentistry or
visit the website http://www.lsuhsc.edu.
