These concentration areas are designed to earn for the student the Bachelor of Science in Biology from ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ in anticipation of entering such a professional school. Because some requirements (application deadlines, specific elective courses, completion of standardized tests, letters of recommendation) vary between schools, students remain responsible for determining and completing all such requirements for the particular professional school(s) to which they intend to apply.<\/p>\n<p>Students majoring in pre-professional curricula who leave ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ before completing requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Biology may have completed all requirements for the Associate of General Studies degree and would be entitled to receive that degree. Such students should contact the Department of Biological Sciences for an assessment of eligibility.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, some coursework completed at professional schools may be applicable toward the Bachelor of Science in Biology. Therefore, students who leave ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ before completing requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree and who attend professional school may have completed acceptable coursework toward the Bachelor of Science in Biology and would be entitled to receive that degree.
