Preprofessional and Professional Coursework
The following courses are required. The course sequence given here shows the usual order in which courses are taken to fulfill prerequisite requirements and illustrates the feasibility of completing requirements for the degree within six calendar years. Students who depart significantly from this sequence may need more time to complete their coursework, because most courses are taught only once a year and because in a given semester the scheduled meeting time of a preprofessional or professional course may conflict with the times of core courses or professional electives.
