The School of Medicine believes the study of medicine is enriched by contact with other intellectual disciplines; therefore, it seeks students with a diverse blend of educational credentials. A liberal arts background in classes such as anthropology, history, literature, philosophy, political science, psychology, religion, and/or sociology, which require students to read broadly, write extensively, and present oral arguments are highly recommended.
While there are no prerequisites in the natural sciences needed to apply, the School of Medicine strongly recommends successful completion of the following courses:
One year of college biology with lab
Chemistry, to the level of organic or biochemistry
One year of college mathematics, preferably including statistics
One year of college physics
English literature or equivalent, including writing
Additional coursework in cell biology, embryology, ethics, genetics and molecular biology is helpful, but not required for admission
