*Students who have plans to go to medical school or graduate school should NOT take UEA BIO 4013Y. This is because such students need an in-depth coverage of this material to be ready for the MCATs or GREs, as well as for coursework that would be completed during medical or graduate school. Such students should take BIOL/CHEM 342 at Dickinson during Spring of Junior or Senior year. Taking UEA BIO 4013Y should be adequate for a student not interested in pursing graduate study in cell/molecular biology or biochemistry, or not planning to attend medical/vet/dental school, after Dickinson.
