It is recommended that students planning to enter medical school complete requirements with a major in either biology or chemistry. Virtually every candidate accepted to medical school holds the baccalaureate degree. A pre-medical adviser should be consulted for requirements for specific medical schools. Although the minimal requirements may be fewer than listed, the following are the required and the highly recommended courses:
A. General Education 9 cr. hrs.
ENGL 100, 200 6 cr.
CSTA 101 3 cr.
B. Science and Math 77 cr. hrs.
MATH 146, 147, 166 10 cr.
PHYS 151, 152, 156, 157 10 cr.
BIOL 150, 230, 240, 340 12 cr.
CHEM 121, 122 ,231, 232, 236, 237,
251, 256, 340, 361 28 cr.
C. Behavioral Sciences 3 cr. hrs.
PSYC 101 3 cr.
TOTAL 89 cr. hrs.
D. Electives
Recommended elected courses are: BIOL 235, 324, 353 and 464; HEAL 263 and 364. Add to these a variable number of credits selected to meet requirements of specific medical schools (for example, the University of Minnesota requires two semesters of English literature) to fulfill academic major and minor requirements for a degree.
