**Courses for the minor, gen ed courses, and electives should be chosen to complete 43 upper division credit hours when combined with the major.  Pre-pharmacy students should consult with their advisor regarding an appropriate minor, but Biology 171, 210, 317 and an Anatomy & Physiology class are necessary for the PCAT.  It is also strongly advised that students take Biology 304 and 380.  This combination of courses makes a biology or integrated sciences minor most practical.

***Chemistry 441 is offered every third semester; consult with advisor regarding exactly which semester you should take it.
