Students preparing to enter medical, dental, or veterinary school may do so by enrolling in any departmental program leading to a baccalaureate degree. Unless a student`s major program includes at least 6 credits of physics, 6 credits of general biology, and 12 credits of chemistry, including organic chemistry, these should be incorporated. This program can be completed only through daytime attendance. Since some medical, dental, and veterinary schools require courses in addition to those mentioned, students are advised to familiarize themselves with the specific requirements of the schools to which they apply. The AAMC Medical School Admission Requirements Guide, available in the college library, is a valuable source book.
Medical, dental, and veterinary schools require that applicants take an aptitude test as a part of the admissions procedure. Information about these examinations may be obtained from any member of the premedical community.
