Program of Study
A student that is unconditionally admitted to the University may select to participate in the premedical program of study. Admission requirements vary among medical schools, but all medical schools recognize the importance of a strong foundation in the natural sciences (biology, general and organic chemistry, mathematics, and physics), highly developed communication and thinking skills, and a good background in the social sciences and humanities. Competencies in these areas should be developed before taking the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT).
Many premedical students major in biology and minor in chemistry. Other options are acceptable and may be completed with the aid of the premedical advisor. Click on the following document which provides more comprehensive information about our program: Premedical Program
