Can you take a class if its not within your major?
Im a Political Science major and I want to take Human Anatomy and Physiology next semester, but Im not a Zoology or Biology major, will I be ok taking the class?
I took AP Biology and Anatomy in high school, but didnt take the college’s pre-requisite.

You can take courses outside your major. However, if that anatomy course lists other courses as pre-requisites, you normally must have taken them first. The only exception is if you get the okay of the instructor for the anatomy class.
Is it that bio and/or anatomy are required as pre-reqs? If so, and you took them as AP classes in HS, and got As and got a 4 or 5 on the AP exam, then you can maybe be able to be waived out of the pre-req by the professor. Go talk to her.
It depends.
If you didn’t take the prerequisite you might get in over your head. You’d be best off speaking to the department head & asking for permission to enroll.
Normally, without the prerequisite you might be barred from signing up for the class outright, and will need the department head’s permission.
