*The combination of the Pre-Podiatry Program with a major in the College of Arts and Sciences can usually be finished in 4 years if both major and Pre-Podiatry classes are started the first year (the Communication Sciences and Disorders major is an exception). The combination of the Pre-Podiatry program with a major outside of the College of Arts and Sciences, such as most majors within the John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences, the College of Engineering and Mines, the Nistler College of Business and Public Administration, the College of Nursing and Professional Disciplines, the College of Education and Human Development, and the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, may take longer. Students should meet with their Health Sciences advisor and major advisor regularly to ensure all requirements are met by the time of graduation.

**Courses for Groups 1, 2, and 3:

Group 1 courses are required: COMM 110, ENGL 110, ENGL 130, MATH 146, PSYC 111, SOC 110, a Statistics class

Group 2 courses are good electives: BIMD 220/L, BIMD 221/L, COMM 212, COMM 380, MED 205, N&D 240, PHE 101, PHE 102, PHE 103, PHIL 120, PHIL 245, PSYC 250, PSYC 270, an advanced writing/humanities course and/or world language

Group 3 courses are upper level science electives:

Fall courses: BIMD 328, BIOL 378, BIOL 364/L, BIOL 390, BIOL 420, BIOL 442, PPT 315

Spring courses: BIMD 302/L, BIOL 369/L, BIOL 415, PPT 315

Students are recommended to take a lighter credit-load (12-13) the semester of the MCAT exam.
