Advising Course Plan - Biology Major - Medical School Interest - Plan for Transfer Students
This plan indicates an effective way for students who transferred into Stetson as a Biology major with 2 years of course credit and are interested in MD or DO programs to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in 2 years. It is assumed that students transfer credit for BIOL 141P and BIOL 142P, CHEM 141P and CHEM 142P, MATH 130, MATH 141Q or Math 151Q, and most general education courses.

On this plan it would be best to take the MCAT after year 2 at Stetson. If it is important to the student not to have a year between Stetson and graduate school, the MCAT needs to be taken between years 1 and 2. To be successful on the MCAT the Sociology and Biochemistry that is covered on that exam will need to be studied without taking those courses (CHEM 204 can be taken concurrently with CHEM 301).

The Junior Seminar can be taken in the spring instead of the fall.
