In addition to the courses listed below, it is highly recommended that students apply for an internship to supplement their experience.

Though specific course pre-requisites vary somewhat by institution, in general they include the following:

• Completion of a bachelors degree with at least a 3.0 grade point average
• Human anatomy (1 course with lab) Note: Some schools are now requiring cadaver labs, and may provide provisional acceptance to applicants lacking this experience.  Several options are usually available from these select institutions to such applicants.
• Human physiology (1 course)
• Statistics
• Developmental psychology
• Abnormal psychology

As with all concentrations, close consultation with the student's academic advisor is recommended to insure that the particular pre-requisites for any specific institution are being met.
