Scientificity

Recently I've been trying to figure out what direction I want to take my career. I've realized that although I generally like research, it's not what I want to do forever. Late last summer I began thinking about careers in intellectual property. So starting with connections I already had I began conducting information interviews. The more I learned the more it seemed like a good fit for me.
One of the directions I could go is to become a Patent Agent. To do that I'd have to take and pass the Patent Bar. So I began looking into the details of that. Now, in order to take the Patent Bar you do not need to go to law school, but you do need to have a scientific background. You can demonstrate your scientific background in a couple of ways. The least complicated is to have a "Bachelor's Degree in a Recognized Technical Subject"
Greater than 50% of the list of recognized technical subjects include the word "Engineering". Not me. The closest fits are biology, biochemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, and pharmacology. But my BS is in animal science. Unfortunately, I don't think that's close enough to any in the list--especially since later in the paperwork it specifically says that a degree in "Biological Sciences" (which sounds a whole lot like "Biology" to me) falls in the category of "Bachelor's Degrees in Other Subjects." And even those who have graduate degrees in one of their listed subjects must demonstrate that they are sufficiently science-y by meeting the same criteria as those with degrees in "Other Subjects".
So the option that looks best to me is to provide documentation to show that I've had 8 semester hours of chemistry or 8 semester hours of physics and 24 semester hours in biology, botany, microbiology, or molecular biology. Easy enough.
Kind of.
You see, they want more documentation than just transcripts. They want course descriptions of all of the classes I'll be using to show my scientific-ness--course descriptions from the course catalogs of the year I took the class. Now I don't know about you, but I didn't happen to save all of the course catalogs from my years at BYU. Luckily BYU has many of the past course catalogs online (and I'm hoping that'll be good enough for the USPTO). But the online course catalogs only go back to 1997. Problem. I started in 1996.
I called BYU. The records office has one copy of older course catalogs, but no extras. They transfered me to Mail Services--because sometimes they have that sort of thing... Nope. They transfered me to Publications and Graphics. The woman I spoke to said she'd see what she could come up with. This afternoon I got a call back--turns out they keep 2 archived copies, but again, no spares.
I guess I'll be making a request for some photocopies.
