Degree Requirements

Students who change programs and select this major must adopt the most current catalog.
Students must have a minimum overall GPA of 3.0 for acceptance into the Pre- Clinical track.
Students selecting the Pre-Clinical track are classified as "pending" until the program verifies that they meet the GPA requirements for this track. Students who meet the requirements are changed to the Pre-Clinical track.
Courses listed below under the GEP and CPP categories usually are completed during the first 60 credit hours and may be taken at an institution within the Florida College System.
A minimum grade of "C" (2.0) in each program prerequisite course, in each core requirement course, and in each restricted elective is required. Students should note that graduate programs may require a higher level of performance for admission.
No transfer course will be accepted with a grade lower than a "C" (2.0).
