    "description": "<br /> <h4>Degree Requirements</h4> <ul> <li>Students who change degree programs and select this major must adopt the most current catalog.</li> <li>Students in undergraduate majors within the College of Medicine are expected to consistently make good progress towards their degrees. Therefore, the COM/BSBS Progress Policy mandates that undergraduate students meet the requirements of the policy. Below are the specific requirements of the Progress Policy: <ul> <li>Students who earned 5 low grades (C-, D, F, NC, U, and Z) will be placed on a probationary status. Students who earn 8 or more low grades (C-, D, F, NC, U, and Z) will be excluded from all COM majors.</li> <li>Students with 2 unsuccessful attempts of the same UCF course will be placed on a probationary status. Students with 3 unsuccessful attempts of the same UCF course will be excluded from all COM majors.</li> </ul> </li> <li>Students should complete the General Education Program, Foreign Language Admissions and the Common Program Prerequisite Requirements before transferring within the Florida College System or State University System.</li> <li>Students should consult with a departmental advisor.</li> <li>The courses designated in sections 1 and 2 below may be taken at a Florida College System institution and should usually be completed in the first 60 hours.</li> <li>Students in this program must maintain a minimum core science/math GPA of 3.0 to maintain status in the program. The courses included in this GPA include all courses in the Common Program Prerequisites, Core requirements (Advanced level) and Restricted electives. Students who are unable to maintain such GPA need to meet with an academic success coach to discuss the option of moving to the Integrated Biomedical Science track.</li> <li>UCF Residency Requirement: 32 hours.</li> <li>The courses designated in General Education and Common Program Prerequisites should usually be completed in the first 60 hours.</li> <li>An FDLE background check, negative drug screen, and Board of Clinical Lab Personnel trainee license are required.</li> </ul> <br /> <p>While many students discover that they have interests in varied disciplines at the University of Central Florida, they are not permitted to pursue two majors within the College of Medicine. College of Medicine students may declare a major and a minor within the college or pursue a second major or minor in another academic college at UCF. Students are encouraged to meet with an academic advisor to discuss these opportunities.</p><p>This program prepares students for state-regulated professional licensure or certification.
