Pre-professional is a category for students who intend to enter a professional school after graduating with their bachelor’s degrees. "Pre-professional" is not a major in itself, rather it is a specialized concentration with tailored advising to help you meet your post-graduation goals. Program Highlights: Specialized advising for students looking to enter medical, dental, pharmacy, veterinary, chiropractic, and other graduate programs A medical-school-of-choice acceptance rate of more than 95 percent. Small classes and a 20:1 student-to-teacher ratio, with opportunities to find mentors and develop strong working relationships with classmates. Highly qualified faculty members eager to share their experience and research in biology and chemistry. Accelerated “3+4” programs that enable students in strong academic standing to advance to graduate school after three years at Saint Francis. Practical experience in such settings as emergency rooms and family practitioners’ offices. Undergraduate research projects that enable you to work closely with professors in your field of study. Major Requirements: BIOL 110 - Introduction to Biology: Evolution, Ecology, and Plant Biology BIOL 111 - Introduction to Biology: Molecules, Cells, and Animal Physiology BIOL 131 - Biology Freshman Seminar BIOL 211 - Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy BIOL 231 - Biology Sophomore Seminar BIOL 406 - Vertebrate Physiology BIOL 301 - Genetics BIOL 331 - Biology Junior Seminar and BIOL 401 - Cell and Molecular Biology taken in the same semester BIOL 302 - General Microbiology and BIOL 405 - Biochemistry taken in the same semester BIOL 402 - Evolution BIOL 431 - Senior Seminar One additional course from the following: BIOL 203 - Ecology BIOL 208 - Animal Behavior BIOL 212 - Developmental Biology BIOL 398 - Biology Internship BIOL 399 - Biology Internship Any 400- or 500-level Biology course Collateral Requirements: MATH 121 - Calculus with Analytic Geometry I One of the following statistics courses: BIOL 315 - Biostatistics MATH 215 - Introductory Statistics STAT 205 - Essentials of Statistics CHEM 121 - General Chemistry I CHEM 122 - General Chemistry II CHEM 221 - Organic Chemistry I CHEM 222 - Organic Chemistry II PHYS 104 - An Introduction to Physics I and PHYS 105 - An Introduction to Physics II or PHYS 121 - General Physics I and PHYS 122 - General Physics II
