The majority of students arriving at Kingsborough Community College with hopes of entering the nursing, physical therapist assistant, and other allied health programs (concentrations in pre-physical therapy, pre-occupational therapy, pre-pharmacy, and pre-physician's assistant) are at-risk students. A Foundations of Human Anatomy and Physiology course (three credits, three hours) is being given by the Department of Biological Sciences at Kingsborough as one of the prerequisites for students in the pre-nursing curriculum and all the other allied health programs. Prior to enrolling in the yearlong Human Anatomy and Physiology (A & P) courses, students must take this course or the first semester of General Biology. However, students may opt to take and pass an examination, which exempts them from the Foundations course. The rationale for this course was to help students better understand the material that would be covered in the A & P courses down the road and, thus perform at a higher level in these courses. In this study, the authors surveyed the students who were currently enrolled in the first semester of A & P, after having taken and passed the Biology Foundations course. The purpose of the survey was to determine students' input concerning the Foundations course. Students in this study responded very positively to the Foundations of Biology course. Despite students' positive responses to the survey concerning the Biology foundations course, some students still resist taking this course. (Contains 3 tables and 12 figures.)
