Ultimately, it is up to the student to decide what works best for them. It is a red flag when a student takes all the "hard" prerequisite classes at a community college and does not take challenging upper level courses. NOTE: If taking a prerequisite course elsewhere, a copy of the unofficial transcript with the grade C or better will need to be sent before being able to enroll in the course at UTA.
As a post-bacc student, how do I complete the prerequisites as fast as possible? Time is certainly a factor that should be considered, especially for post-bacc students, but building an overall competitive application is not a process that can be rushed.
Each students timeline will be different and depend on previous classes taken, year the classes were taken, undergrad GPA, current clinical experiences, volunteering, and other experiences. Expect this process to take years. Setting yourself up for success is the goal. Please review the information in the resources section below.
Should I pursue a second degree or just take courses as a non-degree seeking student? This will depend on your timeline, current GPA, previous major, and goals. One of the factors to consider is finances as non-degree seeking students do not have financial aid available. Some second bacc students do not complete this degree. See financial aid question below. Students with a foreign degree should check with the professional program they are interested in for admissions requirements prior to applying.
For more information on applying, please see the applying as a post-bacc student section below. What classes are required for this program? Are they offered online or in the evening? UTA's program is an unstructured program where classes will be based on each students needs. Post-bacc students take the same classes as degree seeking students. Classes are not offered online and are usually during the day.
However, several of our lower level science classes offer at least one evening section. Required and recommended courses along with information on becoming a competitive applicant can be found by visiting your specific pre-health interest page. You can also use the menu tabs on the left of this page. Classes are currently planned to be held hybrid or in person. We hope to offer most science courses in person, as they were pre-pandemic.
Are there scholarships or financial aid available for this program? Students seeking a second degree may be eligible for some forms of financial aid if taking at least a half-time course load. Non-degree seeking students are not eligible for financial aid. There are currently no specific scholarships available for this program.
