What is CIS?
Academically prepared and motivated juniors and seniors may earn college credits by taking University of Minnesota Twin Cities courses through the College in the Schools (CIS) program. Experience the pace and rigor of U of M courses taught at your own high school. Taking a U of M course through CIS is similar to taking the same course on campus. Your grade will be recorded on an official U of M transcript, and you will earn U of M credit that is recognized by many colleges and universities from coast to coast.

CIS Human Physiology and Medical Devices
11th-12th Grade
Prerequisite: Biology or AP Biology
This course is designed for those who are interested in pursuing a degree or career in the medical field. It can be taken in the 11th or 12th grade as an elective science course. This course is meant to be the equivalent of a one-semester college introductory anatomy and physiology course that covers topics of the human body and its variety of systems and functions. This course will involve engineering skills to discuss and build model medical devices and will also involve dissections of model organisms. Students should expect a higher workload than most classes, with 1-2 hours a night being spent on the course. Best success is seen in self-driven students with strong application skills. Students will have the opportunity to earn credit from the University of Minnesota upon completion of this course. This course is equivalent to taking BIOL 1015 at the University of Minnesota.
