Human Anatomy, Physiology, or Human Biology

Human anatomy, physiology, or human biology may be taken face to face or by distance education at a regionally accredited college or university.  If a course does not have one of the above titles, a letter from the professor or a course syllabus or outline must be submitted to verify that the course did indeed cover the subject material as outlined.  It is the student’s responsibility to preview the course for complete subject matter.

The course may be taken pass/fail, but not audited. 

Explore the course outline or syllabus to ensure that the course covers the organization of the human body and all 11 systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, special senses, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, endocrine and reproductive.

BCIA strongly believes in the mind body connection and the importance of understanding the organization of the human body and how the systems impact one another. However we are also aware of professionals needing more relevant options that are both time and cost effective.  BCIA has worked to widen the interpretation of this requirement.  You may have already taken a course or series of courses that could be used to document this knowledge.  A good example would be a combination of this type of course work:  freshman biology, physiological psychology, biological basis of behavior.

If you believe that you have fulfilled this requirement in an alternative fashion, perhaps through a series of other accredited university courses, you may write to BCIA and request consideration.  All requests must be received in writing and must include copies of relevant transcripts and a check for $100 to initiate this special review for equivalency.
