High school students:

Plan to complete chemistry/physics before the senior year of high school.

If chemistry/physics were not completed in high school or were completed beyond required time limits plan to complete no later than the fall semester preceding potential program admission.

Prerequisites MUST be completed by the identified time frames to be considered for admission in programs that have more applicants than seats available. Enrollment in the spring semester or completion of coursework in the senior year of high school is too late for the admission process.
