The Basic Science Department provides instruction in human science courses, such as Gross Anatomy and Functional Neurosciences, to many of the graduate schools and programs of the College. The Department also offers undergraduate pre-requisite courses in Anatomy and Physiology that are required for admission into graduate programs in the Health Sciences. Our laboratories provide a rich learning resource for the College and the Community.
Our graduate courses are part of the various curricula of the College, and admission to one of the programs is required. Our undergraduate courses are open to the public, and enrollment continues year-round until the course is full or begins. Courses are offered when minimal enrollment is met.
(Will link to detailed “Admission Requirements” page.)
Accreditation:
Our courses are accredited by the accrediting bodies for each of the programs at the College. Our undergraduate courses are accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
