TRANSFER PATHWAYS GUIDE: BIOCHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY, AND KINESIOLOGY

Drake offers several majors in Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology; Biology; Chemistry; and Kinesiology. There is much common coursework, including biology, chemistry, calculus, physics, and statistics. Many of these majors prepare students for professional health school following a bachelor's degree. All of these programs require additional coursework at Drake. Find additional information from the College of Arts & Sciences.

Drake accepts the DMACC Biology and Chemistry Transfer Majors. Please use the following guide to identify appropriate course choices if you are pursuing one of these transfer majors. Students are not required to take any or all of these courses in order to transfer to Drake but may use this as a guide to take applicable coursework for these degree programs.

Using Drake's Transfer Pathways Guides

Many courses from DMACC transfer to Drake; check TES for additional transfer course details. The courses listed here are required in the following majors and can be completed either before or after transfer to Drake. Students are encouraged to work with their DMACC advisor to develop a plan that utilizes as many of these courses as possible to satisfy core and elective requirements for their degree program.

General Education Articulation Agreement

Drake honors Associate of Arts (AA degrees) and Associate of Sciences (AS degrees) from the state of Iowa community college system, including Des Moines Area Community College, to complete Drake's general education curriculum (known as the Areas of Inquiry). Students must complete 60 transferable credits with a minimum 2.0 GPA to qualify.

Reverse transfer to complete the AA or AS with one or two Drake courses is also possible. If you have questions, please discuss this possibility with a Drake Admission Counselor or a DMACC advisor.

Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology

Drake offers both a BA and BS in Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology (BCMB). The BA requires calculus or statistics. The BS requires physics and calculus.

Students must complete 8 credits of introductory biology with labs. See below for transferrable options (equivalents of BIO 012, 013, 018, and 019 are accepted). BIO 112 (BIO 012+012L) and BIO 113 (BIO 013+013L) are recommended.

Biology

Drake offers both BA and BS Biology majors; they are nearly identical, except that the BS requires coursework in research. A maximum of 16 Biology transfer credits can apply to the degree. Drake recommends completing the equivalents of BIO 12/12L and 13/13L prior to transfer, plus one to two elective courses from the biology options listed below.

Coursework in chemistry, physics, and math (precalculus or higher) is also required for the Biology major. Students must complete one advanced quantitative class: Calculus 1, Computer Science 1, or a Biology Statistics course; either Calculus 1 or Computer Science 1 can be completed at DMACC if desired.

Kinesiology

Drake’s pre-professional Kinesiology major offers an intensive focus in anatomy and physiology, with courses sequenced and proactively planned for physical therapy school, medical school, graduate school in kinesiology/exercise science, or careers in community wellness. While not required for the major, students planning on professional school in health careers should consider taking coursework in psychology, sociology, organic chemistry, and composition.

Either Calculus or Statistics is required for the major; students do not need to complete both.

Kinesiology 3+2 Masters in Athletic Training Program

Students considering the Kinesiology bachelor's degree and the Master's in Athletic Training program should also complete the following courses for MAT admission requirements, either at DMACC or at Drake.

Both HSC 114 and MAP 129 transfer as HSCI 095 Medical Terminology. Students can take either course and do not need to complete both.

Drake's Transfer Policies

Work with a Drake University Admission Counselor to find out exactly how your credits will transfer, keeping the following in mind:

Students can transfer a maximum of 66 credit hours from DMACC or other community colleges. A Drake bachelor's degree requires a minimum of 120 credits.

A grade of C- or higher is required for all transfer coursework.

A minimum of 40 upper level (100-199) credits is required for Drake bachelor's degrees.

The last 30 credit hours must be completed at Drake University.

Students may cross-enroll for a tuition-waived Drake course.

Admitted students with an A.A. or A.S. degree from an Iowa community college who have at least 60 semester credits acceptable for transfer and a minimum 2.00 cumulative grade point average will enter Drake University having fulfilled the Areas of Inquiry requirements.
