Bachelor of Science in Biology/Pre-Medicine

Program Type: Bachelors Degree

Overview

Students are required to make formal application to the pre-medicine program in the spring semester of their sophomore year or after completion of 45 hours of course work.  Students must have completed four of the five biology core courses, one year of chemistry, the math requirement, and have a cumulative GPA of 3.30.  Each student will receive a copy of the Biology Student Handbook from his or her academic advisor.

Students interested in the pre-medicine curriculum should check out during their sophomore year the medical school admissions requirements for the school(s) to which they plan to apply.  The Medical School Admission Requirements guide published annually by AAMC is the best resource for this information.  It is important to meet the specific entrance requirements of the medical school(s) chosen.

Maintaining at least a 3.60 GPA and scoring well on the MCAT test (usually taken in the spring of the junior year) are common prerequisites for acceptance to a medical school.  Assistance is available in preparing for the MCAT examinations.

Curriculum

The bachelor of science degree with a major in biology and a pre-professional concentration in pre-medicine consists of 71-77 major hours.
