A cognate is defined as a cluster of courses designed to enrich or provide breadth to an academic major. It consists of 15-18 hours in two or more disciplines and may include no more than 4 hours in courses applied to other requirements. A GPA of at least 2.0 is required for all courses applied to the cognate. Cognates are generally individually designed and are developed with the approval of the chair of the department offering the related major as well as the dean of the school.
Pre-Professional Programs MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
The student interested in becoming a medical technologist completes three years at Anderson University and the final (clinical) year of training at one of two hospitals in Indiana: Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne or Clarian Health (Methodist Hospital) in Indianapolis. Tuition for the clinical year is paid to Anderson University. After successful completion of this program, students earn a Bachelor of Arts in biology and are eligible to pursue clinical laboratory scientist certification through the Board of Registry or the National Certification Agency for Medical Laboratory Personnel. Admission to a school of medical technology requires the satisfactory completion of three years (92 hours) of academic study that includes completion of all liberal arts requirements; 22 hours of biology, including microbiology and immunology; at least 12 hours of chemistry (8 hours general and 4 hours organic); one course (4 hours) in mathematics; and one course (4 hours) in physics. Students must meet the graduation requirements and biology major requirements stated elsewhere in this catalog. Upon successful completion of these requirements, students are eligible to apply to one of the clinical programs. Interested students should contact the Department of Biology for more details and advising. PHYSICAL THERAPY
Anderson University offers a program that prepares students for entry into physical therapy programs. Most students seeking to enter the profession obtain a bachelor’s degree in exercise science or biology. Because of the small number of schools offering graduate degrees in physical therapy and the large number of students who apply, admission to those programs is very competitive. Anderson University has developed an articulation agreement with Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri, to facilitate admission for Anderson University graduates to a doctorate degree program in physical therapy. Interested students should contact the Department of Biology for more details and advising.
