The Pre-Medical Program is administered by the Pre-Professional Health Advisor. This program will likely attract pre-med students (allopathic, osteopathic, dental, veterinary, podiatry, optometry), but is an excellent preparation for PA, PT and Chiropractic Medicine. “Pre-Medical” is intended to mean health professions, not strictly pre-doctor. Any student who does not prefer this program, or cannot meet the requirements, can pursue a health career without this program. This can be added to any major, but it is not a stand-alone program. Students must have at least one institutionally defined major in addition to this program.
Application to the Program
Students self-identify and are conditionally accepted to the program as Pre-Medical Program candidates. Application for acceptance is available within the Biology Department or the Owen Center, and will be reviewed after successful completion (C- or better) of BIO 123 , CHM 111 , CHM 112 , and WRI 101 . Application requirements also include a cumulative GPA of 3.2. Those who have not made an application by the time they reach junior level status will be removed from the program, but have the option to apply for acceptance later if they qualify. No grade below a C-may be used to fulfill program requirements, and students must maintain a 3.2 to remain in the program.
