Medical,
Dental and Veterinary School Preparation
A baccalaureate
degree is recommended for students planning careers in medicine, dentistry
or veterinary medicine, since very few applicants are accepted with 90
credits. Most students pursuing these careers earn Bachelor of Science
degrees with majors in biology, chemistry or both. The following
course outline includes the requirements for most medical schools.
Some medical schools have additional requirements. This is not
a curriculum for a "pre-med major." Most students choose to major
in one of the sciences.
