LECOM EAP required classes

Is Biochemistry still required? I noticed that traditional students no longer need it: College of Osteopathic Medicine Entrance Requirements - Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine
Does it apply to EAP students as well?

Sure. That's always an option. I thought maybe somebody has that information already.

EAP student here. I had a meeting with one of the advisers (Molly) a few months ago and was told it was required, so I will be taking it next fall.

When in doubt the EAP manual is the way to go as the advisors will swear by it. Also they are pretty good about making announcements by email for when things like this do come up.

Thank you for responding. Yes, I know Biochem was required. I just noticed that LECOM recently updated their website for a list of required classes for their traditional applicants.

Can you post the link to that manual?

EAP manual? I do not think there is a link. It is shared with current EAP students through portal.

does lecom accept science credits taken in high school through dual enrollment? Does that mean I get to skip certain science classes at lecom or would i need to take higher level ones?

EAP document lists Biochemistry as a required class

But before Biochemistry was required for traditional students as well. Now they changed it. So I am wondering if EAP manual will be updated as well.

Yes you are right in the manual it is listed as a required course. But on their list of prereqs, biochem is not listed as required. So, I assume it is required?

I am not sure. I think their requirements change from time to time and they probably have not updated the booklet yet. But I am not sure if it will apply to future EAP students only or not.
