Is all of this possible?

I'm not sure how the last 2 years of working towards your Bachelors is layered out so thats why I'm wondering if this is possible. I plan to either major in Philosophy and minor in CS (or vice versa, not sure) but still need to complete Physics 1 and 2 as my last pred-med reqs. I also want to take anatomy and physiology 1 & 2 and microbiology before going into med school. I just want to know how all this is supposed to work? - Will it take 2 years or will it take longer? Thank you.

Bachelors is 4 years...

Focus on physics first, as A&P isn't required at many med schools (UA Phoenix and UA Tucson do). And bachelor's are four years, as @goldy490 said, unless you meant to say you already did two years of your bachelor's.

First of all, Bachelor's is usually 4 years. Secondly, you can take physics whenever you want, as long as you meet the math requirement. All your advanced bio classes though, they are going to have some pre-reqs before you can enroll in those courses. It doesn't matter what your major is - you can take whatever you want as long as you meet graduation requirements. A&P and microbio's pre-reqs are usually all covered by med school pre-reqs. You should consult your school counselor for details since these things tend to differ from school to school.

OP specifically mentioned he/she was talking about the last 2 years of a bachelor's degree.

There isn't a good way for us to help you figure out exactly how long it will take. You need to look at how many courses are required for the degree and in what order they need to be taken. This is entirely school-specific. Nobody on SDN can tell you exactly how it works at your school.

You need to see your advisor or figure it out on your own by looking at the degree requirements. My school had a schedule planner that we could use to build schedules for future semesters to see how things would play out. This could all be blown apart, of course, if you can't get into a pre-req or if an upper-level class isn't offered that semester. Again, best to see your advisor.

I think OP edited it to say "last 2 years." If you see what I quoted it lacks "last." But that's no big deal.

Ah, I see. That makes much more sense.
