Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious bacterial infection that involves the lungs. It may spread to other organs. Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis). TB is contagious. This means the bacteria is easily spread from an infected person to someone else. You can get TB by breathing in air droplets from a cough or sneeze of an infected person. The resulting lung infection is called primary TB. Most people recover from primary TB infection without further evidence of the disease. The infection may stay inactive (dormant) for years.
Elective Upper-Division Science Courses. As an applicant to a health professions school, you are at an advantage if you take science classes beyond the minimal requirements listed above. These courses are also quite useful for reapplicants and first-time applicants who have already completed pre-requisites, but whose academic record needs strengthening (Academic Record Enhancers).
If you transfer with fewer than 60 semester or 90 quarter units, you are considered a lower-division transfer student and admission is based on both your high school performance and your college work to determine if you are eligible. Some campuses with enrollment pressures do not admit lower-division transfer students.
