Premedical and Other Health Professions

While the sequence of scheduled courses varies from student to student and from profession to profession, the following three-year schedule is representative, and the fourth year of college is generally used to complete the requirements for a baccalaureate degree.

Pre-medical advisors make specific recommendations on the sequence of courses to each student according to individual needs. While minimum course requirements for all the professional schools are similar, course requirements do vary from one professional school to another, so it is essential for you to check the specific course requirements for the professional schools that interest you.

Advisors also help prepare you to meet specific admissions requirements of the professional schools in which you are interested. Admission to professional schools is generally based on overall GPA, GPA in required courses, an admissions test, recommendations, exposure to the profession, and in most cases an interview. The average GPA of students admitted is almost always better than 3.0; in most cases it is much better than 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
