Recommended Four-Year Science Curriculum Plans for Pre-Professional Students (pdf)

Although medical schools accept students with non-science majors, it is impossible to finish some degree programs in four years and also take the science block courses required for admission. However the science block required for admission to professional schools fits very neatly into many majors in the College of Science, allowing students to graduate with the required 128 hours. Timely graduation with one of the following majors is very realistic through careful planning, provided classes are not failed nor dropped:

Biology
Biomedical Sciences
Cellular/Molecular Biology
Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
Microbiology

Biochemistry
Chemistry
Forensic Chemistry
   Catalog Years 2005 - 2006 (being revised)
   Catalog Years 2007 - 2008 (being revised)

Biotechnology

Mathematics

Some professional schools may have specific requirements or recommendations for admission. It is the responsibility of the student to examine the web sites of institutions to which application is planned and take these courses using elective hours.
