New Pre-Health Course Just for First-Years!

 Hey First-Years!

We have some exciting news! A new course designed especially for pre-health first-years is available this fall:

PHYS BC1881 – Pre-Health Physics

Tu/Th 8:40–9:55 AM | 4.5 credits | Includes lab

This course is ideal for Biology majors and non-science majors on the pre-med or pre-dental track. It covers key physics concepts with a health-focused approach and satisfies the lab-based physics requirement for most medical schools.

✅ Limited to 27 students
✅ First-year priority enrollment
✅ Conceptual, biophysics-infused approach
✅ Same textbook as PHYS BC2001

Some calculus background is expected—if you're unsure, talk to the instructor or consider pairing it with Calculus I.

            Note: If you're majoring in Physics, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Astrophysics, or Astronomy, you should take PHYS BC2001 instead

As always, if you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out at first-year@barnard.edu or the relevant offices!

Best,
The First Year Team
