Notes

*There was a discussion about the fact that MEDST 240 has MEDST 143, or MEDST 144, or MEDST 200 as prerequisites. The committee in the past has denied approval to PLAS courses that have other PLAS courses as prerequisites. However, given that one of the possible prerequisites for MEDST 240 (MEDST 200) is not a PLAS course, the committee decided that MEDST 240 should be approved as a PLAS course.
