science fields. This includes courses where the following subject matter is the main
point of focus:
- Anatomy & Physiology
- Bacteriology
- Biophysics
- Botany
- Cellular Biology
- Cellular Physiology
- Ecology
|
- Genetics
- General Biology
- Histology
- Immunology
- Microbiology
- Molecular Biology
|
- Neurobiology
- Neuroscience
- Parasitology
- Pathophysiology
- Virology

|
If courses are taught in departments other than the Biology/Microbiology department,
further review will need to be done to determine whether they fulfill the requirement.
Please note: Courses that are introductory, elementary, and/or for non-science majors may count
toward BCPM GPA, however, science courses intended for non-science majors will not
count towards pre-requisite coursework requirements for the TMDSAS schools.
Chemistry
Includes all General Chemistry courses applied toward a Baccalaureate degree in traditional
science fields. The following courses will count towards the pre-requisite if taught
in the Chemistry department:
- Analytical Chemistry
- General Chemistry
- Inorganic Chemistry
|
- Physical Chemistry
- Qualitative Chemistry
- Quantitative Chemistry
|
If courses are taught in a department other than Chemistry, further review will need
to be done to determine whether they fulfill the requirement. Please note: Courses that are introductory, elementary, and/or for non-science majors may count
toward BCPM GPA, however, science courses intended for non-science majors will not
count towards pre-requisite coursework requirements for the TMDSAS schools.
Organic Chemistry
Includes all Organic Chemistry courses applied toward a Baccalaureate degree in traditional
science fields. The following courses will count towards the pre-requisite if taught
in the Chemistry department:
If courses are taught in a department other than Chemistry, further review will need
to be done to determine whether they fulfill the requirement. Please note: Courses that are introductory, elementary, and/or for non-science majors may count
toward BCPM GPA, however, science courses intended for non-science majors will not
count towards pre-requisite coursework requirements for the TMDSAS schools.
Biochemistry
Must be a course that is applied toward a baccalaureate degree in any traditional
science field. Cannot be an introductory course. The course may be taught in the Biology,
Biochemistry or Chemistry department. The following topics must be covered by the
course in order for it to be approved:
In general, an appropriate organic chemistry course/sequence should be required as
a prerequisite/co-requisite for the acceptable biochemistry course. Please note: Courses that are introductory, elementary, and/or for non-science majors may count
toward BCPM GPA, however, science courses intended for non-science majors will not
count towards pre-requisite coursework requirements for the TMDSAS schools.
Physics
Includes all physics courses applied toward a baccalaureate degree in any traditional
science field. Can be algebra- based or calculus- based Physics. If courses are taught
in a department other that Physics, further review will need to be done to determine
whether they fulfill the requirement.
Statistics
Most acceptable statistics courses are taught in the Statistics or Math department
of your institution. More important than the department it is taught in, are the contents
of the course. The following topics must be covered:
- Inferential Statistics
- Descriptive Statistics
- Multivariate Methods
- Hypothesis Testing
- Linear Models & Regression
If courses are taught in a department other that Math or Statistics, further review
may be required to determine whether they fulfill the requirement.
English
Any course that fulfills a general education English requirement of a baccalaureate
degree will be accepted. Reading or writing intensive courses taught in the Humanities
may also be considered.
Remedial, developmental courses, or "English as a Second Language" courses will not
fulfill the requirement.
Natural & Physical Sciences
Any course taught in the departments below. These courses will only be included in
the BCPM GPA for Veterinary applicants.
- Agriculture
- Animal & Avian Sciences
|
Engineering
Any course taught in the Engineering department. All engineering courses will be included
on the Prescribed Coursework Report (PCR), but will not be included in the BCPM GPA.
Engineering courses will be included in a separate engineering GPA. Unless an engineering
course is already approved as a pre-requisite in the Course Listings, it will be coded as the section it falls under (Biology/Chemistry/Physics) and included
in the BCPM GPA.
- Aerospace Engineering
- Biomedical Engineering
- Chemical Engineering
- Civil Engineering
- Electrical Engineering
- Environmental Engineering
- Nuclear Engineering
|
Other Science
Courses coded as Other Science typically fall into these categories. This is not a
complete list, and depending on the department or subject matter covered, a course
may be classified differently. Please refer to the Requirements for Inclusion in the Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Math (BCPM) GPA for further understanding which of these courses will be included in the BCPM GPA.
