Courses required for admission vary with the college and a student should inquire early in the academic program about the courses required for a particular institution. In general, a student is advised to include at least 8 hours of general chemistry, 8 hours of organic chemistry, 8 hours of physics, 8 hours of biology, and 6 hours of English. Additional information concerning requirements for specific colleges of podiatric medicine may be obtained from Dr. William Harris, Department of Biological Sciences (575-3251).
Pre-Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program: The student interested in obtaining a bachelor¹s degree in nursing must satisfactorily complete 70 semester hours of required courses in the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences before full admission into the College of Nursing at the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences campus in Little Rock. Specific course requirement sheets and the College of Nursing catalogs can be obtained in the Fulbright College Advising Center, room 101 of Old Main, ext. 3307. Students interested in the pre-B.S.N. or other allied health programs should contact the Fulbright College Advising Center. Additional information regarding the B.S.N. program can be obtained by writing the Dean, College of Nursing, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, Arkansas 72201.

Pre-Pharmacy Program: The student who wishes to enter the College of Pharmacy at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences or elsewhere must satisfactorily complete the courses listed below or their equivalents plus enough electives to bring the total to 65 hours.
Students are advised to begin taking elective hours during the second semester of their freshman year. Since pharmacy schools have many more applicants than they can accept, the student is urged to earn a grade-point average somewhat higher than the minimum of 2.00. The grades are a major consideration when admission committees evaluate a student¹s qualifications for acceptance. The University of Arkansas College of Pharmacy and other pharmacy schools also require applicants to take the Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT). This may be taken in November or February. See the adviser for details.

Pre-Theological Program
Students who plan to enter a graduate
theological seminary should consult with a
clergyman and obtain a catalog of the seminary
they plan to enter, then prepare themselves to
meet its specific entrance requirements.
The American Association of Theological Schools, which is the accrediting agency accepted by most theological schools, recommends a broad basic education. According to the statement of the Association, the college work of a pre-seminary student should result in the ability to use certain tools of the educated person, such as the ability to write and to speak English clearly and correctly; the ability to think clearly; and the ability to read at least one foreign language. A pre-seminary student¹s college work should result in an increased understanding of the world in which the student lives, the world of humanity and ideas, the world of nature, and the world of human affairs. Pre-theological students at the end of the undergraduate work should have a sense of achievement because of a degree of mastery in their chosen field of study, that is, the chosen major, and because the students have carried out independent academic work on their own initiative. The Honors Program offers an opportunity to work toward these objectives.
Graduate Studies
The Graduate School, in cooperation with the
faculty of Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences,
offers work leading to the degrees of Master of
Arts, Master of Science, Master of Music, Master
of Fine Arts, Master of Public Administration,
and Doctor of Philosophy.
Students interested in any of these advanced degrees should consult the Graduate School catalog or the Dean of the Graduate School.
