The Pre-Medical Sciences concentration prepares you for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) examination, required for medical school admission. This is a viable option for anyone interested in becoming a physician and provides a foundation for a variety of fields, including family practice, dentistry, preventative medicine, geriatrics, and pediatrics.

Your required courses include biology, chemistry, and physics, in addition to the program focus of health science. This practical curriculum emphasizes disease prevention and health promotion to provide you with skills in planning and implementing patient lifestyle changes, and reducing risk factors for disease and injury.

Additionally, your Certified Public Health Specialist (CHES) Responsibilities and Competencies align with the AACOM/AAMC Foundational Competencies for Undergraduate Medical Education and AAME Premed Competencies for Entering Medical Students.

Students should maintain a 3.25 GPA to remain in the concentration.
