Are labs required for your pre-reqs??

Hey Carmen29....

I am pretty sure most science classes always comes with the lab. When I took all my pre-req science courses, all of them came with lab (Biology, Chemistry, A&P, and Microbiology)...Science classes, to me, should always come with lab so you would understand the concept better and it helps if you are more of the visual type too....

Most of my science classes required labs including A&P 1 & 2, Microbiology and Chemistry.. I'm pretty sure almost any school will require labs.

I've been looking at a lot of the pre-reqs for different nursing programs. Some specifically list that a class must have a lab. Other programs don't list the lab section of the class. If you're following pre-reqs (A&P, Chem, Micro) for a specific program, do you have to have the lab part of the class?

Like the other posters I had labs that corresponded with A & P I & II, Chemistry, and Micro. At the CC I went to a student could not even get the computer to take the registration of those science classes without the linked lab. It would literally put a block on it, until it all corresponded with each other.

I had labs for Biology, Chemisty, A&P 1 & 2, Microbiology, and End of life issues. I have never heard of science class that didn't have a lab. I mean how would really learn it if you couldn't apply it?

I had lab for ALL of my science classes: Bio, Chem, Microbio, A&P, etc. Not that we did a whole lot in some of them, but we did have them and they were integrated into the scheduling of our class.

I think I've figured it out. At the school I'm at, the lab and the lecture are two different classes. The lecture is 3 credit, the lab is 1 credit. You have ot register for two different classes. At other schools I think the lecture and lab are labled as one class worth 4 credits. I just had to dig deeper into different college catalogs to figure that out.

I my school the lab and lecture were bulked together into one class listing for 4 credits. The class would meet 3 hours a week, and most labs 2 or 3 hours, but micro met for 4 a week. It's amazing all those extra hours only amount to 1 extra credit.

I know what you mean.

The program I'm applying to you have Chem w/lab and A&P I&II both w/lab. I believe my micro and patho are lab free

I bet micro isn't lab free.

Yep you are right my Micro has a lab as well....ugh! :chuckle

I think that at CC's all of the science classes come with labs. However, I just finished my BS in biology at UCSD and almost all of the lab classes are separate from the lectures. For instance, I a microbiology class, but didn't take the lab. The direct entry MSN program that I want to apply to requires micro + lab so I'm going to take it over again at a CC so I get the lab with it. Same with anatomy.
