Allied Health Minor 

Allied Health (Biology)

The Department of Biology offers a minor program of study leading to the minor in allied health (biology). The minor in allied health (biology) serves the needs of students interested in careers in such fields as dentistry, medicine, and veterinary medicine as well as other allied health professions. Students who plan to apply for admission to graduate school or graduate professional school (dental, medical, osteopathic or veterinary medicine) are encouraged to consult the Coordinator of the Health Professions Program, Dr. April Potterfield, regarding their program of study and admission to graduate or professional school. In general, however, requirements for entry into graduate or graduate professional school will include chemistry through organic chemistry, a two-semester sequence in physics and a course in calculus.

Professors:  Amspoker
