Michael - BISC302 can adsorb these students; however, we no longer offer

BISC321 even though it is still on the books.

 

We would require a formal approval of our faculty to waive the BISC208

prerequisite.  If you wish to pursue this, I could arrange to have this

considered by our Undergraduate Programs Committee if you can send a

representative to make the case.  It is our experience that the

University does not enforce this requirement during registration so the

point may be moot from your perspective.

 

Best regards,

Dan
