*For students planning to apply to medical school, the Department recommends taking the biochemistry sequence CAS CH 421 and 422 but CAS CH 273 is acceptable. CAS CH 422 Biochemsitry II may be taken as a professional elective in the Second Semester, Senior Year. Human Physiology students wishing to pursue a Chemistry minor may only use two of the chemistry courses required for the HP major toward this minor.

+ Permission of the academic advisor is necessary prior to enrolling in HS 410. The student and the academic advisor will discuss and decide on the appropriate number of credits in each individual case. Fieldwork Experience is optional for the Human Physiology major.

Each course carries 4 credits unless otherwise indicated.
