Professional schools and graduate programs may require additional courses not required for this major, such as physics labs, chemistry, calculus, or statistics. Contact the programs to which you may apply to determine the specific courses required. Students should work closely with the Life Science Advisement Center and BYU's Pre-Professional Advisement Center.
