NotesThe curriculum in the Pre-Medicine pathway is designed to prepare students for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) and entrance into medical school. A Bachelor’s degree (B.A./B.S.) is required prior to matriculation into medical school. No particular major is preferred, but a degree in Biology or Chemistry-Biochemistry encompasses many of the prerequisite courses.
