The Biological Sciences/Preprofessional Medical Science transfer areas are designed for students interested in pursuing a bachelor’s degree in one of the various biological sciences or professional health careers.

Students should plan their transfer programs with a Parkland academic advisor or counselor and the catalog of the four-year college or university they plan to attend.

Program Notes*
• Biological sciences, pre-dentistry, and pre-med/vet med students may substitute PHY 121 for CHE 203 and 204 and PHY 122 for CHE 205 and 206.
• Pre-baccalaureate nursing students should take PHI 100 and either PHI 105 or PHI 108 for their Humanities electives, and SOC 101 and PSY 101 for their Social/ Behavioral Sciences electives.
• Students may substitute CHD 106 for CHE 101 and CHE 107 for CHE 102. CHE 203 and CHE 204 are not required, but are highly recommended and require CHE 101 and CHE 102 as prerequisites.
• Pre-pharmacy students who have taken BIO 141 and 142 may take BIO 162 and BIO 122 to satisfy their anatomy and physiology requirements. PHY 121 and PHY 122 are not required, but are highly recommended.
• Pre-physical therapy students who have taken BIO 141 and 142 may take BIO 162 to satisfy one of the anatomy and physiology requirements.
• Clinical laboratory science students are not required to take PHY 121, but it is highly recommended.
