Biology or Chemistry

Published

Hello , 

  I am working on taking classes for my next degree and one of the schools I am eyeing has a choice between Chemistry and Biology. Which course would you choose for the science pre-req.

If it's either / or and you know you won't require the other: Are you more in to math or science?

 

If you're strong in math, do Chemistry, which is algebra masquerading as science.

 

If you're more science inclined, definitely biology.

Check the prerequisites for the program you are entering. Chemistry is pretty much a given for nursing programs. Biology might be needed to get into Anatomy & Physiology depending on your school.

Biology will probably include the functions of the cell and the Kreb's cycle, so it might help prepare you for A&P.

My program required Chemistry,  Anatomy & Physiology, and Pathophysiology. It’s been so long ago I can’t remember for sure, but I think I had to have Biology as a pre-req for both A&P and Pathophysiology.  It can only help to take both, and I think you probably will need both.
