Your Foundation for Medical School and Beyond

The Pre-Medical Concentration is part of the Pre-Medicine and Pre-Health major. 

Dreaming of becoming a doctor, surgeon, or medical researcher? Our Pre-Med program is your first step toward a career in healthcare that changes lives. Designed for students with a passion for science and a calling to help others, this program prepares you to apply to medical school with confidence and a strong academic foundation.

You’ll study the essential sciences—biology, chemistry, physics, and anatomy—while developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills that every great physician needs. But Pre-Med isn’t just about coursework. You’ll have opportunities for hands-on lab work, clinical experiences, research projects, and volunteer service that show admissions committees you’re serious about making an impact.

Your professors and advisors will work closely with you to help plan your path, choose the right courses, prepare for the MCAT, and navigate the med school application process.

Whether your goal is primary care, surgery, research, or global health, it all starts here.
