Anatomy and Physiology Advising

There are two offerings of A & P. Read the descriptions of the courses below so that understand the differences between these two offerings before you enroll.

Anatomy and Physiology with Review I and II (BI 226, BI 227)

  • This course is designed for the Pre-Nursing, or other allied health pre-professionals. It is also great for Massage Therapy, Exercise Science, Physical Education, and other majors with a requirement for Anatomy and Physiology.
  • The course includes the equivalent of "Chemistry Review for Biology Students" (BI 105) at the beginning of each course.
  • The two sections can be taken in either order, but both classes (BI 226 and BI 227) are required to fulfill the Anatomy and Physiology requirements for most programs in most schools in Kansas.
  • The two semester course is the "Normal" pace for an Anatomy and Physiology class and is recommended for students who do not have a strong background in science*.

Anatomy and Physiology (BI 240)

  • This course is designed for the Pre-Nursing, or other allied health pre-professionals. It is also great for Massage Therapy, Exercise Science, Physical Education, and other majors with a requirement for Anatomy and Physiology.
  • Anatomy and Physiology (BI 240) does not include Chemistry Review as part of the course - although it is a recommended pre-requisite for students taking BI 240.
  • The one-semester course is the "Accelerated" pace for an Anatomy and Physiology class and is only recommended for students with a strong background in science*.

 

*Strong Background in science is defined as having the following:

  • A grade of B or better is considered evidence of a strong background in these science courses. A grade of C represents a weak performance.
    • Biology and at least one other science course in high school:
      • Chemistry and/or
      • Advanced Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, or Adanced Placement Biology and/or
      • Physics
    • General Biology (BI 110)* and/or Basic Chemistry (CH 105)* in college.
