2 Yr Transfer UF Req

What do I need to do while earning my AA degree at the community college to prepare as a pre-health student at the University of Florida?

1. Be sure that you are taking the appropriate courses for the major you are interested in at the University of Florida. If you are interested in applying to any majors in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, please visit http://www.advising.ufl.edu/transfer /aatransfer.html to learn what the minimum recommended courses that need to be completed for your intended major. If you are interested in a major at a different college, please contact that college directly. You can search for information about different colleges at http://www.ufl.edu.
2. Complete the following pre-health courses prior to coming to the University of Florida:
   
3. ** Two semesters of General Chemistry with the labs or its equivalent: usually CHM 2045, 2045L & CHM 2046, 2046L or CHM 2040, 2040L, CHM 2041 2041L & CHM 2046, 2046L
   
4. ** Two semesters of General Biology with the labs or its equivalent: usually BSC 2010, 2010L & BSC 2011, 2011L BSC 2005, 2007, 2008 & 2009L are not acceptable for most pre-health profession preparation.
5. **Two semesters of College-level mathematics: usually Analytical Calculus I MAC 2311 & choose as the second math course: Analytical Calculus II MAC 2312 or Introduction to Statistics STA 2023
6. Depending on the major you are choosing, there may be additional science or math courses you will need to complete prior to coming to the University of Florida.
7. ** Do not take Physics prior to transferring to University of Florida, unless you intend on selecting Physics, Astronomy, Computer Science or Geology as your major, or if you decide to choose one of the several Engineering majors. If you need to take Physics to meet the admissions recommendations to transfer to University of Florida, be sure to take one of the two series of General Physics: PHY 2053, 2053L, 2054 & 2054L or PHY 2048, 2048L, 2049 & 2049L. Some health professional schools will not accept the PHY 2004, 2004L, 2005 & 2005L series.
8. ** Do not take Organic Chemistry prior to transferring to University of Florida.
9. ** It’s always good to demonstrate success in the sciences at UF as well as at the community college.
10. Be sure to be involved with getting relevant healthcare experience while completing your AA degree.
    
11. Please take the time to know your professors at the school you are in and give them the opportunity to know you and your career aspirations. You might need a letter or two from them later on when you begin the application process.
12. What kind of support or advising is available for me at the University of Florida?
13. The University of Florida, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, houses the Office of Health and Legal Professions Advising (OHLPA). This office provides pre-professional advising for both pre-law and pre-health students. Individual advising is available by walk-in or appoint ments throughout the year when the campus is open. Workshops are also offered every year and the topics cover Introduction to Pre-health Professions, Preparing for the application process and interviews. OHLPA also provides an announcement based listserv that all pre-health students can subscribe. This list serv provides information on relevant current healthcare news and events, workshop announcements and research/volunteer opportunities. There is also the OHLPA pre-health website at http://www.advising.ufl.edu/ohlpa/prehealth that contains a wealth of information
