- 1
Students who have taken similar physiology courses may petition to take advanced life sciences courses as replacements.
- 2
Courses in the following areas may not count: research for credit (BMD_ENG 499-0 Projects), global health (except BMD_ENG 380-0 Medical Devices, Disease & Global Health), business, design, NUVention (except for 1 quarter of NUvention Medical), seminar, or survey courses.
