Helpful Information
- Taking more than two science courses, including math, in a semester may be overwhelming. Balance your course load with other general education requirements.
- Medical Terminology (HTHS 1101) is highly recommended before your first course in anatomy and physiology.
- It's best to complete anatomy and physiology before enrolling in RHS 3300 Evaluation and Care of Musculoskeletal Injuries: Lower Extremities.
Don’t forget math and English general education requirements, which can be found on our Math and English Requirements website as well as the WSU Placement website.
Health Sciences or Zoology Anatomy & Physiology
The following video spells out the differences between the Health Sciences Integrated Human Anatomy & Physiology (HTHS) class series, or the Zoology Human Anatomy & Physiology (ZOOL) class series.
Students need to complete either the HTHS or ZOOL series for entrance into most College of Health Professions programs.
Possible Academic Plan
The following outlines a possible academic schedule for a student’s first two semesters at Weber State while pursuing athletic training.
Work with a College of Health Professions advisor to determine the best schedule that works for you.
If your math and English requirements are complete, replace those classes with other general education requirements found in your CatTracks.
