Instructions: Please fill in all blanks with correct course numbers and grades. For courses taken more than one time, please record all grades received in the appropriate blanks. If you are currently taking the course or planning to take the course during your graduating term, please indicate with either N for Present Schedule (this term), or L for Final Schedule (next term, if applicable). Your N or L indicated courses must be the same as the courses recorded under sections 16 & 17 of your degree petition. US and Global Perspective: two Overlay Areas, US Perspectives and Global Perspectives are part of the Core Curriculum. Some Humanities courses also carry the Global Perspectives attribute. These courses may be used to satisfy both HUM and GP areas. See the Registrar's website for a detailed listing of courses that overlap and satisfiy Humanities, Social Science, Constitutional / History and the US and Global Prespectives requirement. Pass/Fail Status: Only free electives may be taken on a pass/fail basis. The maximum number of pass/fail hours permitted in an undergraduate program of study depends upon the number of semester credit hours that will be completed at Georgia Tech, as follows: See next pages for Pre-Health Electives and Suggested Pre-Health Free Electives BS Biochemistry - Pre-Health Science page 2 (continued on next page)
B.S. in Biochemistry pre-health science track http://chemistry.gatech.edu/academics/biochemistry/pre-health-science The Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry degree Pre-Health Science option provides a combination of required and elective courses that ensure a strong foundation in the chemical and biological sciences while providing the flexibility to tailor a curriculum that satisfies specific interests or career goals within the health-related professions. This curriculum meets the admission requirements for medical, pharmacy, dental, veterinary, physical therapy or graduate school. The judicious use of pre-health science electives, social science electives and suggested free electives enables students to build a foundation for further study that incorporates topics from chemical and biomolecular engineering, bioinformatics (computing), biomedical engineering, and biology.
