Extractions: Although there is no pre-law major at the University of Florida, most law schools agree that a broad, liberal, diverse, and challenging education is the best preparation for law school. Taking difficult courses from demanding instructors is the best generic preparation for legal education. Pre-law students must develop analytic and problem-solving skills, critical reading abilities, writing skills, oral communication and listening abilities, research skills, and organization and priority management skills. In short, pre-law students should register for demanding courses that challenge them to read, write, and think critically. Pre-law students are encouraged to consult the pre-law web site, www.advising.ufl.edu/prelaw . After reviewing the web site, students should attend pre-law group advising sessions and workshops. In the junior year, students are invited to make individual advising appointments with the Pre-law advisor in the Academic Advising Center. Pre-law students are encouraged to carefully assess their interest in and motivation for attending law school. The pre-law timeline, featured on the web site, encourages students to "shadow" attorneys, conduct informational interviews, complete internships, and speak to admissions officers to learn about law schools and the legal profession. Students should also consider studying overseas, writing an honors thesis, and completing an internship. These activities will enhance the depth and value of their undergraduate education and may also distinguish them from other top law school applicants.

Extractions: The Premedical Program of Study at Vanderbilt University When planning a program of study, students should keep in mind that they must usually meet three different sets of requirements. First are the requirements of the medical school which must be completed before an applicant matriculates. Second are the general degree requirements which are set by the faculty of the college for a particular degree. Third are the requirements set by the departmental faculty for the specific major. Planning must also include completion of the subject matter which will be tested on the MCAT before taking the test. Each of these specific requirements will be discussed below. Premedical Requirements There are some variations between schools, but almost all of the U.S. medical schools will accept as minimum preparation in science one year each of general chemistry, general physics, general biology and/or zoology, and organic chemistry, all with the appropriate laboratory. Most also accept a semester of biochemistry in lieu of a third semester of organic. Requirements for specific medical schools are found in Chapter 10 of the AAMC publication, MEDICAL SCHOOL ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS . This booklet (henceforth referred to as MSAR ) is an invaluable source of information and should be consulted before completion of the application so that you are assured of having all requirements for each school to which application is made. Courses usually taken by our students to complete these requirements are charted in Appendix II.

Extractions: The question frequently This is a very delicate matter and warrants discussion with your prehealth advisor. arises concerning how colleges and medical schools view students who have earned Advanced Placement, foreign transfer credit and college credit in high school. Although these sound very similar and although they are treated similarly by all undergraduate colleges, this is not true of how medical schools treat them. NYU will grant credit for most Advanced Placement test scores of 4 or 5, and Foreign- or U.S. College courses. For full details, consult the current College of Arts and Science Bulletin. Although you have been awarded credit by NYU for the Advanced Placement courses you have taken, the material you covered in high school may not quite be up to the same standard as that of courses given here at NYU. Therefore, you may be at a slight disadvantage when you take some of our upper-level courses. Additionally, you may have a more difficult time studying for the professional school admissions tests unless you have recently covered some course in that area. However, if you have Advanced Placement credit and retake the course, you will lose the Advanced Placement credit. On the other hand, by keeping the Advanced Placement credit and not retaking the course, you will have the clear benefit that you are more quickly able to start on the upper-level courses in that particular area, you will have considerably more flexibility in your program as there are fewer required courses that you must take, and you are able to register for more elective courses, perhaps even complete a second major.

TIPS FROM THE MEDIA COMMITTEE: HOW TO WRITE AND PLACE AN OP-ED At the 2000 annual meeting, Education Committee members reported considerable interest in education from the general membership. Committee chair Steve Trombulak characterized the magnitude of this interest as "HUGE." Rick Paradis reported that the roundtable discussion on education attracted about 20 people of diverse occupations, including museum docents, graduate students, environmental educators, and academics. The discussion covered a wide variety of topics under the umbrella of how SCB could facilitate and promote education at all school levels and for the general public, and attempted to define conservation literacy. The question of whether focusing on the formal education system would be more effective than reaching out to the general public was discussed. Rather than focusing on education philosophy, the sense of the meeting was that most interest is in "direct attention to concrete actions and programs." In addition, we received many new requests to join the committee following publication of the May newsletter. These responses may reflect growing concern that the messages of conservation biologists are not adequately reaching the public.

Extractions: UC Santa Cruzs major in molecular, cellular, and developmental biology is designed for students interested in graduate school, medical school, dental school, or other professional health programs, as well as for those preparing for careers in biotechnology industries. A major goal of modern biology is to understand how molecules form cells and how cells divide and organize to become complex organisms. In other words, how are molecules organized to become living creatures? Molecular biologists investigate the structure and function of the large complex chemicals found in cells, primarily proteins and nucleic acids. Cell biologists study the processes by which cells grow, divide, and perform specialized functions. Developmental biologists attempt to unravel the intricate mechanisms that direct the division and differentiation of cells, resulting in the formation of plants and animals.

Students who choose either one must consult with an appropriate program advisor early in their course of studies. Students following the General Biology track The Biology-Secondary Education track , a program of study coordinated with the School of education, is designed for students who want to meet the requirements for teaching biology in middle, junior high and senior high schools. Questions concerning this track should be referred to the Biology-Secondary Education Advisor of this department. Students should also consult with the Department of Secondary Education and Youth Services (SEYS) to determine the education requirements for New York State certification. The department offers survey and topic-oriented courses (numbered 100) that have been designed specially for students not majoring or minoring in Biology. Some of these courses have recitation- demonstration sections rather than formal laboratories. Students must prepare a concentration plan with an advisor and file this plan with the Department by the beginning of the sophomore year. This plan is solely a description of a proposed course of study; it may be changed at any time in consultation with an advisor. The student must also be listed with the Registrar as a Biology major. Both the concentration plan and notification of the registrar are required before a student can preregister for advanced courses in biology or be graduated. Transfer, and Second B.A. students who have been granted equivalent course credits in Biology or any cognate science department must provide the advisor with a copy of the completed Transfer Credit Evaluation Form when they file their concentration plan.

Extractions: Chair, Health Professions Advising Committee: Barry S. Rothman Pre-Health Professions (listing of courses) The Health Professions Advising Committee (HPAC) has designed programs to meet the course requirements for the following types of health professional schools: medicine (Human), including allopathic and osteopathic; dentistry; veterinary medicine; pharmacy; optometry; podiatry; chiropractic; physician assistant; and dental hygiene. The pre-health professional programs are not academic majors, and do not by themselves lead to a certificate, baccalaureate, or graduate degree. However, these programs may be included as part of a recognized academic major. Official requirements of all majors and programs are published in this Bulletin Academic majors with significant overlap with pre-health professional requirements include: biology, especially concentrations in cell and molecular biology or physiology; biochemistry and chemistry; and physics. HPAC works with both undergraduate and graduate students, including those registered as second baccalaureates and post-baccalaureates (unclassified graduate students).

http://www.science.fau.edu/semester.htm

Extractions: QUALITY OF COURSEWORK AND SEMESTER LOAD Your academic record should be consistent and demonstrate that you can perform well when carrying a full academic load with at least a 3.2 GPA. During the regular school year, you should take above minimum credit hour loads and achieve mostly "A" grades with a minimal scattering of "B" grades in all courses. If you have a poor academic record in a particular semester, the reasons should be explainable and improved upon in subsequent semesters. Most professional schools have academic loads that are at least twice as intense as your undergraduate course load. After admission into their programs, they expect you to succeed, to do well on national boards and accrediting exams, and to be a credit to their school. Transfer Students It is essential that you familiarize yourself with the procedures and regulations as specified in the FAU catalog. Know the regulations, deadlines, and requirements for graduation so you can achieve your goals in an orderly and timely fashion. It is advisable that you take some core course requirements (e.g. physics, and additional chemistry and biology courses) at FAU. You might allow the first term for adapting to a new university system by taking fewer credits and choosing your courses carefully.
Program Planning
biology programs offer all of the preprofessional course requirements, plus additionalupper level science courses recommended by many professional schools.
http://www.science.fau.edu/program.htm

Extractions: PROGRAM PLANNING AND STRATEGIES Degree Requirements for Professional Schools Students who wish to apply to schools offering programs in pharmacy, occupational therapy or physical therapy should plan to complete the requirements for the Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree at FAU. All other preprofessional students should plan a program leading to a bachelor's degree (B.A. or B.S.). There are some professional schools that will accept a few outstanding students who have not completed an undergraduate degree. Nevertheless, you are strongly encouraged to obtain an undergraduate degree even if the professional school does not require it. An undergraduate degree will vastly improve your chances for admission to the school of your choice. It also gives you credentials to fall back on should your career plans change. Choice of a Major. There is no such thing as a premedical, predental, etc. major. Undergraduates pursuing preprofessional studies must select traditional academic areas for their majors. For someone intending a career in health care, the most obvious and convenient choice of a major is in the sciences. For example, Chemistry and Biology programs offer all of the preprofessional course requirements, plus additional upper level science courses recommended by many professional schools. You may also choose between a B.A. or a B.S. program. A non-science major is also acceptable. However, if you select a non-science major it may involve more careful program planning. Therefore, do not anticipate that it is an easier route. On the other hand, if you are a highly motivated student and have a passion for music, art, engineering, etc., seize upon the time during your undergraduate years to broaden these interests.
