Pre-Req Help! Anatomy vs. A&P

[cbro2000]

Hello everyone, 

I am starting to enroll in pre-requisite courses for ABSN programs. I have a lot to take, specifically Anatomy and Physiology. I am wondering if it matters whether I take Anatomy and Physiology and their respective labs separately, or if it is better to take A&P I and A&P II. All of the courses are within the Biology department at my university. The schools I intend on applying to seem to accept either option, so long as the units and hour requirements are fulfilled. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I think it is really up to you. For me personally, I liked to take the class and the lab together because they tend to have the labs be related to the lecture accordingly, so it's basically reinforcing your learning when you take the lab.

I agree take the lab and the course together! The lab helps you understand the course material so much better.

"The schools seem to accept".  So what you need to do is contact the school where you want to apply and make sure.  No one on a message board can speak for whether a specific school will accept certain credits.  Information and facts are power.  Don't blow thousands of dollars on a class and then be like "I thought they would accept it".
