What Else Do I Need To Know?
-
Yup! You will be placed in Hyatt Village Pods A and B with other first-year students with the same gender. Hyatt Village is one of our newest residence halls on campus and comes with a private bathroom, air conditioning, new lounge furniture, access to the campus tunnel system, and brand new lofts, beds, and room furniture!
-
Not at all! You will not pay a penny more than anyone else while having access to more programs, events, speakers, and excursions.
-
Nope! All you need to do is have an interest in science or a healthcare-related field. As first-year students, you are still exploring exactly what you want to do. Maybe you find yourself studying nursing, biochemistry, or exercise science. This program will help you develop your skills, abilities, passions, and give you direction with what career path you want to pursue.
Possible LLC related majors include Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Exercise Science, and Nursing.
You will be enrolled in two fall courses, including BIO120 General Biology I and SSS101 CSP Seminar together with your peers who are also living in Hyatt. For the Spring Semester, the same group of students will either take BIO130 General Biology II OR BIO315 Human Anatomy & Physiology I, depending on career trajectory.
