Pre-professional programs at USM
Almost
every American school of medicine, veterinary medicine, and
dentistry requires for admission a baccalaureate degree (major
optional), two years of biology, two years of chemistry, one
year of physics, a course in calculus, satisfactory performance
on a national professional aptitude test, and a recommendation
from a committee at the baccalaureate institution. At this
campus, the Health Professions Pre-professional Evaluation
Committee is comprised of faculty from the Departments of
Biology, Chemistry, and Physics and is responsible for evaluating,
comparing, and recommending students.
The Biology Department offers a concentration in human biology for students who wish to focus on this area in preparation for admission to professional schools.
Starting in Fall 2009, we will offer a two-year concentration in pre-pharmacy for students who want to apply to pharmacy programs.
We maintain a listserv to communicate via email to students interested in the health professions. For more information, click here.

Professional programs in Maine
Until recently, the only medical school in Maine was the University of New England's College of Osteopathic Medicine. Beginning in Fall 2009, Medical Medical Center and Tufts University School of Medicine will launch a new medical partnership, with incentives specifically targeted to Maine students. You can find more information about the Maine track here.
If you are interested in Pharmacy programs, both the Husson University School of Pharmacy and the University of New England College of Pharmacy are admitting their first Pharm.D. students in Fall 2009.
The University of New England also offers a master's level Physician Assistant program.
