Post Baccalaureate Sequence

The post baccalaureate sequence is for students who wish to enter a health professions program but lack the necessary prerequisite courses. Most students will be in the workforce and changing careers. They may find it difficult to attend a traditional college for various reasons: some are in the military, some hold jobs with inflexible work hours, and some live in rural areas.  Students may enroll in the post baccalaureate courses at any time and from anywhere in the world.  The courses are designed to be completed in 16 weeks, but they are self-paced so depending on the circumstances students may adjust the completion time to meet their needs.

Courses that are available include:

• Medical Biology I and II with laboratory
• Medical General Chemistry I and II with laboratory
• Organic Chemistry I and II with laboratory
• Medical Biochemistry
• Microbiology for Health Professions with laboratory
• Medical Physiology
• Statistics for the Health Professions
• Anatomy for the Health Professions
  

All of the courses are accredited through the University of New England and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) and the American Osteopathic Association (AOA).

Students may enter the sequence at any point as long as they meet the prerequisites for the individual courses.  They may take as many courses as they need in order to meet the prerequisite requirements for the health professions program to which they are applying.

Many health professions programs accept these courses but we encourage you to check with the schools to which you are planning to apply to verify that the courses are acceptable before you register.
