Pre-Medical Science
A program in pre-medical science may focus on any of the following areas:
- pre-dentistry
- pre-medicine
- pre-optometry
- pre-pharmacy
- pre-physical therapy
- pre-physician assistant
- pre-veterinary
A program in pre-medical science consists of a combination of the pre-medical science core courses AND the courses required for any other official university major. The pre-medical science program leads to a Bachelor of Science degree and is designed to prepare the student for application to one of the medically-related professional schools. Some professional schools may require additional course work of which the student should be informed before registration.
Admission to the Program
Because high academic achievement is required for admission
to professional schools, the Division of Natural Sciences has
has developed an admissions process for entry into the pre-medical science program. Upon completion of the freshman year, students interested in pre-medical science must have a minimum GPA of 3.2, complete a prescribed essay and interview with the Medical Science Committee. It is essential that the GPA be maintained; students whose GPA drops below 3.2 will be given one semester of grace, after which they will be advised into another major.
General Education Requirements
Students in this major meet the general education competencies
by taking the approved standard courses.
