Degree Planning Suggestions - Lets Try Again

[Duneranger]

I posted a year ago and I finally have more clarity as to what I want to focus on. My ultimate goal is the Masters of Science Anesthesia with NSU. I am currently leaning towards BA through TESU. I have been able to find a degree plan on wiki for the BA in Biology but not an active degree plan link for a BA in Natural Sciences and Mathematics. I feel there are two ways of approaching my application. One finish my bachelors as fast and cheap as possible then focus on my premed courses required for my application. Or two dovetail the required premed courses into my bachelors. The program requires a bachelors and the following below. I could technically get a bachelors in any major as long as I take the classes below. I was leaning towards the sciences as I like and feel confident in that area of study. But should there be something I am missing that is fast and affordable with regards to finishing the degree I am open to suggestions.
Effective January 2024, all incoming students for winter 2025 and summer 2025, must take a general Anatomy and Physiology I and II course with labs.  The 8 semester hours of Biology I and II with lab nor an advanced course in Microbiology or Cellular and Molecular biology will no longer meet the General Biology requirement. 

• Required and cannot be survey courses
  
  • English - 3 semester hours
    
  • General Biology with Lab or Anatomy and Physiology with Lab - 8 semester hours
    
  • General Chemistry with Lab - 8 semester hours
    
  • Organic Chemistry with Lab - 4 semester hours
    
  • Biochemistry - 3 semester hours
    
  • General Physics with Lab - 8 semester hours (Trigonometry or Calculus based)
    
  • Calculus - 3 semester hours
    
• [size=undefined]Preferred but not required[/size]
  • Cell & Molecular Biology - 3 semester hours
    
  • Organic Chemistry II - 3 semester hours
    
  • Microbiology - 3 semester hours
    
  • Physiology - 3 semester hours
    
  • Anatomy with lab - 4 semester hours

I work in anesthesia. I am guessing you want to be an AA?

AA school is going to be EXTREMELY competitive. All the competitive applicants will likely have taken science classes at a CC or uni.

I would HIGHLY recommend attending a BM school for your BS or at LEAST for your science classes. 

Also ageism will be working against you...just how it is....
