Pre-Medical, Pre-Dental, Pre-Optometry, Pre-Physician Assistant, and Pre-Veterinary Medicine

The student is advised to prepare by taking at least two high school courses in laboratory science and three years of high school mathematics.

In planning a college program, students should follow the requirements and recommendations of the particular professional schools to which applications for admission are planned. All demand a high grade point average and other evidences of superior scholarship.

The students need not major in the sciences, provided they assure themselves, in consultation with the pre-professional advisor, that admission requirements are met.

The majority of professional schools require the following courses:

BIOL2220. General Biology I (3); a

BIOL2220L. General Biology I Laboratory (1)

BIOL2230. General Biology II (3); and,

BIOL2230L. General Biology II Laboratory (1)

CHEM2210. General Chemistry I (3); and,

CHEM2210L. General Chemistry I Laboratory (1)

CHEM2220. General Chemistry II (3); and,

CHEM2220L. General Chemistry II Laboratory (1)

CHEM3210. Organic Chemistry I (3); and,

CHEM3210L. Organic Chemistry I Laboratory (1)

CHEM3220. Organic Chemistry II (3); and,

CHEM3220L. Organic Chemistry II Laboratory (1)

ENGL1020. English Composition (3)

MATH2510. Calculus I (4)

Complete one of the following sequences:

PHYS1110. College Physics I (3); and,

PHYS1110L. College Physics I Laboratory (1)

PHYS1120. College Physics II (3); and,

PHYS1120L. College Physics II Laboratory (1); or,
