Estes, Mr. K. Lyon, Dr. A. Marks, Dr. J. McCoy, Ms. R. Robertson, Mr. A. Smith, Ms.
M. Stringer, Ms. K. Vera, Mr. M. Walters
The Division of Science is composed of the following areas: Biology, Chemistry,
Engineering, and Physics. The curriculum in the division acquaints non-science majors
with the cultural and educational values of science, provides pre-professional students with
the proper background of knowledge and skills, and provides concentrated instruction for
students who have chosen one of the areas as a major.
BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES/MARINE BIOLOGY/
MICROBIOLOGY/BIOLOGY EDUCATION
Non-science and math courses for many of these majors can vary widely. It is
STRONGLY recommended that students consult their school of choice to get
current information about curriculum requirements, especially for biology
education programs.

DENTISTRY/MEDICINE
“Pre-med” and “Pre-dental” are NOT undergraduate majors. Students will need
to select an academic major in order to earn a bachelor’s degree in preparation for
application to these professional programs. Most students interested in these careers
major in a scientific field (biology, chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, physics,
etc), but students can major in any field as long as application requirements are met
according to the professional schools’ specifications. The curriculum below is based
on the programs at the University of Mississippi Medical Center (unless otherwise
noted). In most cases, online coursework will NOT be accepted to meet pre-requisite
requirements. Students should consult with the school of their choice for specific
guidelines.

Speech is only required for students studying industrial, electrical, and computer
engineering. (Ole Miss does not require it for electrical engineering.) Chemical
engineering students could start CHE 2424 Organic Chemistry I at this point. Otherwise,
those students can consider taking CHE 2424/2434 Organic Chemistry I and II during

Students unprepared for Calculus I should take Trigonometry. If this is the case,
summer classes may be required if students wish to take the maximum number of
transferable hours at JCJC for this major.
VETERINARY MEDICINE
“Pre-veterinary medicine” is NOT an undergraduate major. Students will need to select an academic major in order to earn a
bachelor’s degree in preparation for application to this professional program. Most students interested in these careers major in
a scientific field (biology, chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology,
animal science, poultry science, etc.), but students can major in
any field as long as application requirements are met according
to the professional school’s specifications. The curriculum below
is based on application requirements at the College of Veterinary
Medicine at Mississippi State University. Students should consult
with the school of their choice for specific guidelines, GPA requirements, etc. Any veterinary program will require superb academic
performance, a rigorous core of math and science courses, and a
demonstrated interest in animal health.

Certain undergraduate majors may require additional math beyond trigonometry,
including one or two semesters of calculus. MSU vet school requirements are a
minimum of 6 hours in math, with college algebra being the lowest level accepted.
2
MSU vet school will accept an undergraduate major-specific junior or senior level
technical writing course in place of the formal speech course. Certain undergraduate
majors may also have alternate requirements/options for speech.
3
BIO 2924 Microbiology is an application requirement for MSU vet school. Students
may elect to take it at JCJC or at their senior college. Students that wish to take it at
JCJC may elect to do so by delaying the sequence of organic chemistry or physics,
taking it in place of the formal speech course (if there are alternatives for satisfying this
requirement), or taking it during a summer semester.

The MSU program in veterinary medical technology only requires 6 hours in humanities
and 6 hours in social science. Additional hours in these categories are included during
the sophomore year’s spring semester in order to maintain full-time status and fulfill
JCJC associate of arts graduation requirements.
2
Students wishing to apply ultimately for veterinary school (to earn the professional
degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) will need additional science requirements
including CHE 2424 and 2434 (Organic Chemistry I and II) and PHY 2414 and 2424
(General Physics I and II) and can begin one or both of these course sequences during
the sophomore year in place of additional social science and humanities courses.

VETERINARY TECHNOLOGY (B.S.)
This curriculum aligns with the requirements for the bachelor’s degree in veterinary
medical technology offered by the MSU College of Veterinary Medicine. Students
should consult the website and other official publications from this program for
additional application requirements. Students wishing to use this as a pre-professional
preparation for veterinary school (to earn ultimately the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine
degree) will be required to take additional science courses, as designated in the official
“Veterinary Medicine” curriculum plan. Also see notes below.
