Students who choose a pre-medicine course of study at the university will find the affordability, faculty oversight and class availability will be advantages as they prepare for the move to medical school. You'll be able to select from a variety of undergraduate majors such as biology, biomedical science, biotechnology or biochemistry. A dedicated adviser will help you choose from courses in physiology, anatomy, endocrinology, immunology, microscopy and microbiology to pair with your core science courses. You'll find ample research opportunities. An advisory committee will help you prepare for the required entrance exams and interviews and medical school visits.
