3 + 4 Podiatry

 

Students must meet the admissions requirements for early admission to the Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine.  If you are applying to other podiatry schools, please use the web to find admissions requirements.

 

Guidelines for Completion of the Bachelor of Arts Degree in the College of Science & Technology

  • Bachelor of Arts candidates in the College of Science and Technology (CST) must complete all requirements for the degree program before entering the School of Podiatric Medicine with the exception of the following:

1. Biology majors may use up to three of the following first year School of Podiatry courses as replacements for Biology electives:

Biomedical Studies (PBMS) P100 (Histology) as long as the student has not already gotten credit for Biology 2235 (0235); PBMS P102 (General Anatomy) as long as the student has not already gotten credit for Biology 2233 (0233); PBMS P104 (Neurosciences) as long as the student has not already gotten credit for Biology 3352 (0352) or Biology 3358; PBMS P110 (Biochemistry) as long as the student has not already gotten credit for Biology 4375 (0375); PBMS P111 (Physiology) as long as the student has not already gotten credit for Biology 3334 (0334).

2. Chemistry majors may use up to one of the following first year School of Podiatry courses as replacements for Chemistry electives:

PBMS P110 (Biochemistry) as long as the student has not already gotten credit for Biology 4375 (0375) or Chemistry 4401 (0371).

  • College of Science and Technology students may count up to 33 equivalent credit hours from the first year at the School of Podiatric Medicine as equivalents of upper-level credits in the College of Science and Technology or the College of Liberal Arts.
  • College of Science and Technology students may count up to 33 equivalent credit hours from the first year at the School of Podiatric Medicine to fulfill their general credit hour requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree in the College of Science and Technology.
  • Appropriate course sequences for majors offered by the College of Science and Technology will be available in the Office of Student Services (1810 Liacouras Walk, Suite 203) or Pre-Professional Health Studies (1810 Liacouras Walk, Suite 100) and will be shared with prospective and current students.

 

Suggested Semester-by-Semester Sequence for CST + Podiatry School 3+4 Program

Below is a suggested sequence of courses. Individual sequences will vary based on previous course work, AP credits, performance on University placement tests, and specific undergraduate major. Students who qualify for the 3+4 program will develop an individual program of study with Pre-Professional Health Studies during their first semester at the University.

First Year - Podiatry School
Approximately 33 credits of course work completed during the first year of Podiatry School will be applied to the CST
major's total number of earned hours needed for the completion of the degree requirements for graduation. For some
majors, course work will count as elective hours in the major; for all others, course work counts as elective hours
toward the completion of the minimum of 123 credits for the undergraduate degree. In planning an undergraduate
schedule it is essential to consult with an academic advisor.
 
Minimum Total Hours for a Bachelor of Arts degree: 123  

** Students must also complete a Biochemistry prerequisite prior to entering Temple's School of Podiatric Medicine. They may choose from either Chemistry 4401 or Biology 4375. Although it is not a requirement for taking the MCAT, it is recommended that students complete Biochemistry prior to taking the MCAT. In addition, students must also complete an Introduction to Psychology (PSY 1001) AND Introduction to Sociology (SOC 1176) course prior to taking the MCAT.

** Students should be aware that some Podiatry schools will accept either MCAT or DAT (Dental Admissions Test) to meet entrance guidelines.

Notes:

1) Students in the Accelerated Program must have been pre-approved through the Office of Pre-Professional Health Studies (PPHS) and have signed an "Intent to Pursue" form during their first semester. This form must be on file with PPHS.

2) Because students in an accelerated program must meet both the course requirements for entry to professional school and the course requirements for their major, it is necessary for these students to consult with an advisor in their major as well as PPHS as early in their academic career as possible. Failure to do so may make completing the required courses in the first 90 hours impossible.

3) The sequence presented here is a generic sequence; the actual sequence will depend on choice of major and number of AP credits applied from high school transcript.

4) With some exceptions, CST students must complete the requirements for their major within their first 90 hours; course work in the first year of professional school counts as elective hours toward degree completion.

5) Biology Majors - Some of the course work during the first year of Podiatry School can be counted for Biology electives as well as general electives for degree completion. Certain electives are excluded. Be sure to consult with an academic advisor.

6) Computer Science Majors - In order to complete the required courses in 3 years, Computer Science majors must have AP credit for Calculus I & II, take an overload, or enroll in summer session classes.
