Pre-Med

Students who are Pre-med and plan to go to medical school need not major in Biology, Chemistry or related fields. They may do any concentration at the Honors College, such as Anthropology, Art, English, History, Math, Philosophy, Physics, Political Science, or Psychology, so long as they also take the following courses:

• 8 Credits of Biology (while any 8 are acceptable to most medical schools, the ones which will help the most with the MCAT are Biological Principles, Genetics, Anatomy & Physiology, and Cell Biology)
• General Chemistry I & II with labs
• Organic Chemistry I & II with labs
• General Physics I & II with labs
• Calculus I and II (required for Physics I & II)

In addition, the following courses are recommended to assist with MCAT preparation:

• Biochemistry (required by some medical schools, be sure to check on the individual requirements of schools to which you apply)
• Genetics
• Cell Biology
• Anatomy and Physiology
