Pre-Med Track

Students in the four academic majors at the School of Nursing & Health Studies may complete the pre-med curriculum. This includes health care management & policy, human science, international health, and nursing.

Typical requirements for students who are seeking professional graduate education (medicine, dentistry, physical therapy, veterinary school) include:

• 1 year of Biology (first year)
• 1 year of General Chemistry (first year)
• 1 year of Organic Chemistry (sophomore year)
• 1 year of Physics (junior year)
• 1 year of Math (first year or sophomore year)
• 1 semester of Calculus
• 1 semester of Statistics

The years in which these pre-requisites are often taken are in parentheses if you follow a traditional track to graduate school.

Each student in the NHS has two advisors during all four years which helps them to stay on track: an academic advisor and a faculty advisor.

In addition, you also have a pre-health professional advisement system that allows for even more personalized attention as students prepare for and apply to graduate school.
