Central Courses

Students generally take the following courses:

Recommended Courses

A student's application to medical school is strengthened considerably if several of the following courses are taken:
Many of these required and recommended courses are full-year sequences, prerequisites for other courses, not offered every semester or year, or must be completed before taking the MCAT (usually in the spring of the junior year).

Students should plan a tentative schedule for their entire course of study.
The health professions advisor provides students with support and information concerning course selection, the MCAT, application procedures, and letters of recommendation. Students should consult with the health professions advisor to develop programs tailored to their particular needs and interests.

For other health-related fields, admissions requirements and application procedures are similar to those for medical school. Students interested in careers in dentistry, veterinary medicine, physical therapy, physician assistance, and the like should consult with the health professions advisor for more details and information.
