* Most students will need to complete Human Biology prior to Anatomy (based on academic strength)
** Strongly recommended, not required
^ Physics for DMS program may be completed in the spring or summer semester. Summer is recommended if both Anatomy and Physiology are taken in the spring. Students interested in Radiation Therapy will take physics in their sophomore year.
- Students are advised for success, based on academic strength, not necessarily for a 4-year plan.
- Prerequisites for the program may take more than one year to complete.
