Pre-Medical Studies

Get the breadth of science and mathematics required for admission into medical school. Supplement these fields with courses that develop an understanding of the complexities of human nature.

Careers studying and treating disease and managing health care demand ever-increasing knowledge and skills. The pre-medical concentration provides the essential natural and behavioral sciences. In addition, students are encouraged to explore additional sciences as well as psychology, anthropology, sociology, politics, literature, and the arts. Outside the classroom, students can join the student-led Pre-Med Society, a space for students pursuing medicine to gather and collaborate.

“Specific premedical course requirements… vary among medical schools, but all recognize the desirability of a broad education—a good foundation in the natural sciences (mathematics, chemistry, biology, and physics), highly developed communications skills, and rich background in the social sciences and humanities… A solid understanding of modern concepts in physics, chemistry, and biology is mandatory, for major advances in medicine are based on principles stemming from these disciplines.”
