A student in the medical pre-professional programs must have a thorough understanding of the basic sciences, but also must possess a broad cultural knowledge of the people with whom he/she will work. It is highly recommended that the student entering these programs formulate plans to complete the bachelor's degree since most professional schools in Texas require a bachelor's degree. The student should consult with the pre-medical advisor during the freshman year to plan a major and minor. As soon as the student knows the professional school to which admission will be sought, check with that school for additional requirements. The student should consider alternate career goals in this planning in case admission to medical school is not achieved. The student should plan to take the MCAT or DAT during the spring semester proceeding the fall semester that application is made to medical school. The following curricula is provided for the student's guidance:

Total Semester Hours: 133-149

*Pre-medical students will elect Mathematics 141 and/or Mathematics 142 and Mathematics 191
**Non-biological sciences majors may choose a different biological sciences course upon consultation with advisor.
***First and Second major course requirements will vary depending upon academic discipline selected
