The College of Arts and Sciences offers programs for students who wish to pursue professional careers in medically-related fields. These pre-medical programs are designed to provide a sound basis in biology and chemistry, along with coursework in physics and mathematics. The pre-medicine/pre-osteopathy, pre-veterinary medicine, pre-dentistry and pre-pharmacy programs are intended to prepare students for advanced, professional study in the medical sciences. These programs meet the coursework requirements for admission to most medical schools. Students who wish to pursue a pre-medical program would be well advised, however, to check carefully the admissions requirements of the professional schools they wish to enter. Students also should seek advice regularly from their faculty advisors. Admissions requirements for pharmacy schools and colleges vary greatly. PrePharmacy, a pre-professional advising program, provides students with an opportunity to prepare for further training in pharmacy schools or colleges. Students work closely with their prepharmacy faculty advisor to ensure they meet the admissions requirements for the pharmacy school or college of their choice. (Admissions requirements for pharmacy schools and colleges vary greatly.) In addition to declaring this program, students must be admitted to a bachelor's degree program in the College of Arts and Sciences. Students may pursue pre-medical programs under the Bachelor of Arts degree, the Bachelor of Science degree or a carefully designed Bachelor of Integrative Studies degree. The pre-medical programs serve as advising programs for students in the B.A., B.S. and B.I.S.programs.
