Pre-professional programs

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.
