There is a minimum number of required courses that our students need to take; to complete these credits students can choose among the courses offered in Biology and other academic units at the University of Puerto Rico at Rio Piedras, the Medical School, and the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez. In addition, students interested in applying to short intensive courses offered elsewhere may request financial aid to participate in these and receive credits that will count toward fulfilling their course work.
