If I am taking coursework in chemistry or microbiology to meet the admission requirements, do I need to take a lab course in addition to the lecture course?
Because the focus of professional practice is laboratory science, taking laboratory coursework is a way for applicants to demonstrate strength in the pre-requisite curriculum. There is not a specific number of pre-requisite laboratory credit hours that applicants are required to take. Applicants must have one upper division chemistry course with laboratory and one upper division microbiology course with laboratory within seven years prior to enrollment at an accredited four year college/university. It is recommended but not required that courses in biochemistry and/or organic chemistry, microbiology, and immunology include both lecture and laboratory components.
