1996-1997 Academic Catalog

70 Science and Mathematics Medical Technology A medical technology option is available within the biology major. The student must spend one year in a hospital internship program to become a certified medical technologist. Prerequisites to the hospital internship include: 24 hours of biology, 24 hours of chemistry, one mathematics course, and completion of all General Education Requirements. Students may do an internship during their senior year with 48 hours of transfer credit applied to the biology major upon successful completion of the internship. Many students complete the requirements for a biology major first and then take the internship after graduation from Cedarville College. Predental, Premedical, PreoP.tometric, Preosteopathic, and Preveterinary Medicine Cedarville students have been successful in gaining admission to medical/professional schools. Though no specific major is required by these schools, students typically choose majors in biology or chemistry. The premedical advisor will arrange the course sequence. The following courses are usually required by the professional colleges: Biology electives (selected from): ................................. 15 BI0-238 IntroductoryMicrobiology ........................... 5 BI0-306 Genetics ........................................................ 5 BI0-313 Vertebrate Zoology ....................................... 5 (or BI0-411 Vertebrate Emb1yology ....................... 5) BI0-316,317 Human Structure and Function I,II .....

Prepharmacy The prepharmacy curriculum enables a student to obtain the first two years of the five-year pharmacy program at Cedarville College. To ensure that specific course requirements may be met through Cedarville courses, the student should select the pharmacy college he or she plans to attend as early as possible and obtain a catalog describing the specific course requirements. The following courses should be included in the two years the prepharmacy student attends Cedarville: BI0-115 General Zoology .............................................. 5 BI0-134 General Botany ................................................ 5 BI0-313 Vertebrate Zoology .......................................... 5 CHEM-151,152,153 General Chemistiy I,II,III ........... 12 CHEM-357,358,359 Organic Chemistry I,II,III ........... 15 COM-110 Fundamentals of Speech ................................ 5 ENG-110 English Composition I .................................... 5 ENG-140 English Composition II ................................... 5 GSS-100 Foundations of Social Science ......................... 5 MATH-281 Analytic Geometiy and Calculus I .............. 5 Prephysical Therapy The prephysical therapy program prepares students for admission to graduate-level schools ofphysical therapy and generally satisfies the prerequisites pre– scribed by the American Physical Therapy Association (A.P.T.A.) accredited graduate schools. Students should contact the specific schools they wish to attend to deter– mine the exact prerequisites for those schools. Physical therapy schools favor students who have gained practical experience in the field. Consequently, prephysical therapy students should obtain a minimum of 100 clock hours of experience in assisting a licensed physical therapist prior to their senior year. Competition for admission to physical therapy schools remains fierce. The prephysical therapy cuniculum, which satisfies the requirements for a degree in biology, provides students with many health-related, postgraduate study options. These options include medical, dental, osteopathic, optometric, chiropractic, and graduate schools. Course requirements include: BI0-114 Introduction to Biology .................................... 5 BI0-115 General Zoology .............................................. 5 BI0-134 General Botany ................................................ 5 BI0-200 General Ecology ............................................... 5 BI0-218 Pathophysiology ............................................... 5 BI0-238 Microbiology ................................................... 5 BI0-306 Genetics ........................................................... 5 BI0-316,317 Human Structure and Function I,II ......... 10 BI0-411 Vertebrate Emb1yology .................................... 5 **BUS-211,212 Statistics ............................................... 6 CHEM-151,152,153 General ChemistryI,II,III ........... 12 CHEM-356Biochemistry ............................................... 5
