Admission Requirements
Students desiring admission to professional schools (medical, dental, optometry, veterinary, podiatry, and pharmacy) will meet all the admission requirements for those programs while obtaining a Molecular Biology and Microbiology degree. none
4. Upper Division Restricted Electives (7 courses minimum) (Seven courses, no more than two may be taken outside the Molecular Biology and Microbiology Department and at least two must be a laboratory course. No more than two may be MLS courses. Enrollment in some MLS courses is restricted. Check with advisor before enrolling. Only three hours of Honors thesis will count towards restrictive elective requirement.) Students in the preprofessional concentration of the Molecular Biology and Microbiology program are recommended to choose from the following restricted electives: BCH 4054 MCB 3203, 3203L PCB 3063 Biochemistry II Pathogenic Microbiology + Lab Genetics 3 hrs 4 hrs 3 hrs

Transfer Notes: Students who begin a two semester sequence course (e.g. General Chemistry) at a community college are strongly encouraged to complete the sequence before transferring. If it will not be possible to complete the sequence at the community college, the student should postpone beginning the course until enrolling at UCF. Students may elect to take Human Anatomy (ZOO 3733C) and Human Physiology (PCB 3703C) at UCF in order to meet the Universitys requirement that students complete 48 semester hours of upper division (3000/4000 level) credit. Students meeting the Human Anatomy and Physiology I & II requirement at the community college (lower division) level must take an additional 8 eight hours of upper division coursework at UCF. Honors in the Major Application and admission through the department and the Burnett Honors College Fulfill University requirements for Honors in the Major and maintain a 3.2 UCF GPA; 3.5 in the major; 3.2 cumulative average for graded upper division courses regardless of the institution
