General vs Medical sciences

Published

I am trying to get in an accelerated program and am working on finishing some pre-reqs. I did talk to my adivsor and so forth, but I am kinda concerned about a microbiology course. I did email the professor and am waiting for a reply. The thing is, when I was an undergrad a few years ago, I took GENERAL microbiology and not MEDICAL microbiology. I am kinda concerned about this. When I did talk to her about other courses, two were able to be substituted, but I still got to take a nutrition class because the one I took in another program was called human nutrition vs human nurtrition and diet therapy. I am also concerned that if I do have to take this medical microbiology that it might be an overload. This is what Im looking at:

General bio lec

geneal bio lab

human anatomy and physiology 1 lec

human anatomy and physiology 1 lab

human nutrition and diet therapy

and the possibility of medical microbiology lec and lab....is it possible to take all of this successfully and has anyone else run into the GENERAL vs MEDICAL courses that may or may not have been accepted? Thanks.

Honestly, I think it's probably the exact same class with a different name. I've noticed a lot of schools label their classes different even though they are equivalent to one of another name at a different school. Definitely find out for sure.. but I'm betting it's the same class.

Thanks for the reply. I just hope that it can be counted cause that is a lot of biology classes. Oh well, if I have to add that lec and lab to my schedule, I'll do what I have to do, but I literally wont have a life and might as well label myself as a science major, at least for that semester. LOL!!!

Wow that seems so nit picky! My college has a general nutrition class and that is the only nutrition offered. I hope you dont have to take a diff micro biology class, it sounds like you would be on overload!
