Prerequisite Requirements

  • Prerequisites must be completed with a grade of B* (not B-) or higher by May 22, 2025.

  • All prerequisites must be completed at a regionally accredited college or university. We are happy to accept community college coursework, online coursework, and AP, IB, or CLEP credit to fulfill prerequisites, but please be advised that not all professional schools will accept online coursework or AP/IB/CLEP credit to fulfill their prerequisites. 

    • AP/IB credit must be documented in an itemized list provided by the Registrar's Office at the college that granted the equivalent college credit.

    • We will accept a CLEP exam to fulfill our prerequisites if you answered at least 93% of the questions correctly in the equivalent subject. To use CLEP credit to meet our prerequisites, you must have an official score report sent directly from the ³Ù´ÇÌýpostbaccprehealth@colorado.edu by February 17, 2025. Your application will not be reviewed until we receive your official CLEP score report.

  • We understand that many schools changed their grading schemes during the Spring 2020 semester. If you completed your math or chemistry prerequisite coursework in that semester, we will honor Pass/Fail grades for those courses. For all other semesters, we require letter grades.
