Frequently Asked Questions
What grade is required for minor courses?
Can transfer credits count toward the minor?
6
Minimum grade of C in all minor courses.
No, all credits for the minor must be taken in residence.
Does the course order matter?
7
Physiol 201 must be taken first
to count both
Physiol 201 & 502.
Physiol 404 must be taken first
to count both
Physiol 404 & 505.
To count
Anatomy 303,
it must be taken before Anatomy 403.
Yes, for example:
What is independent study?
8
Project, Literature, or Research based independent work guided by a faculty member.
Independent study is dependent on faculty availability.
Only one independent study course may count toward the minor.
(Anatomy 498, Physiol 306, or Physiol 405)
Can I double count courses for the
lab and elective?
9
Anatomy 510 is the only course that can count for both lab and an elective, but only if it is taken twice.
No, each requirement must be fulfilled by a different course.
5 Courses and 16 credits are required for the minor.
Can I double count courses between my major and minor?
10
If more than one course overlaps with your major, you will need to take an additional elective course.
See the following slides for specific examples.
Only ONE COURSE can overlap between your major and minor.

Any tips for planning courses?
When should I apply?
13
Physiol 201 and Anatomy 403 cannot be taken together in Winter, but they can in Fall.
It is recommended to take Anatomy 403 by the end of junior year, if possible.
Request to declare now if you’re serious.
Otherwise, take Physiol 201 and/or Anatomy 403 first.
Declarations early in your education may be delayed,
but you do not need to resubmit your request to declare.
