Prepaguy23 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 So I've been getting things in order to apply for the 2018-2019 cycle, I went on a tour of the JAX campus last December and was given a student handbook. The handbook (along with their website at the time) stated that either organic chemistry OR biochemistry were accepted to fulfill that pre req. Recently I visited their website again and it stated that biochemistry was now a requirement, and organic chemistry was not even mentioned. So I was wondering could this maybe be an error, or do programs tend to change pre reqs like that? I have not taken biochemistry because most programs will accept either organic chemistry OR biochem it seems. What is your opinion? I have emailed admissions but have yet to hear back.

I’ve talked to admissions and biochemistry is now a mandatory pre req for this upcoming cycle. I think it’s implied that organic chemistry is needed, I’m pretty sure at most schools it’s a pre req for biochemistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD2012 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I have a friend who planned on applying to FTL campus this coming cycle and now can't or will have to apply later in the cycle due to the new requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capita98 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I emailed the Orlando campus fairly recently, and they did confirm that biochem will be the desired course from here on out (i.e. this coming cycle.) A lot of schools do require orgo to take biochem but there are a handful of universities out there that will allow you to do it online without orgo (UNE and Doane I believe are a couple of examples.) Caveat emptor though. Check with NSU first to see if they will allow you to take that route before investing your time and money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
