gentlerain Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Microbio is a common prereq for PA schools but is it okay if I take Microbiology and Public Health? I can take that class as a freshman but I can't complete the Microbiology if I take other prereqs first. Are PA schools known to prefer one over the other? Thanks!

cinntsp Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Call the schools you're interested in and ask if they'll accept it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MokahFitChick Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Honestly, if I had the option I would take both. Yes, they both cover microbiology, but one is going (or seems) to be more focused on disease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_me Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 A combo course? Typically schools want sciences for science majors, in otherwords the microbiology that a bio major would take NOT what a creative writing student could take to satisfy the science requirement. If I were you I would take the pre-reqs and take the regular microbio course and skip the combo course. Im willing to bet that the pre-reqs for the micro course are classes you need anyway as pre-reqs for most PA programs (biology I maybe II and chem I maybe?). For most classes the pre-reqs are there because they serve as a foundation, besides youre a freshman so no need to rush.....you have the chance to do everything right, take your time :wink: Best bet is to email the programs with the course description and ask them if youre deadset on trying to get away with the combo course.....
