Physiological/Biopsychology as the bio prereq?

[Southwestspeechie]

Hello! 

I took a class on Biopsychology and it was listed as Psyc335. I have read that Biopsychology can fulfill the ASHA bio prereq, but I am not sure if mine will work because in the course name is Psychology, and not Biology. When I previously asked a representative from one of my schools about the chem prereq, she said that the course just has to have chem in the prefix, so I assume it is something similar for Biology. Does anyone have any experience with this? I am currently signed up for Human Genetics for the Spring, but it would be great if I didn't have to take that! 

Thanks!

Psychobiology is listed under behavioral sciences not biological sciences on ASHA's website so human genetics is probably a better bet. http://www.asha.org/Certification/Course-Content-Areas-for-SLP-Standards/

But ultimately it's up to your grad program to decide what counts and what doesn't. If there is a lab components it might be easier to argue that it's a bio course.

Thank you! After reading that, I am going to just take human genetics!
