PRE-MEDICAL PROGRAM

Although Presbyterian College does not offer a pre-med major, it does offer all of the preparatory course work for medicine and dentistry. Students planning to attend medical or dental schools follow a rigorous academic schedule.

Pre-medical students -- regardless of their major -- have available to them college-assigned advisors who are familiar with the requirements for medical and dental schools and can assist with course planning. A Health Science Advisory Committee assists PC students in preparing for and applying for medical study and other graduate training in health-related fields.

Under the direction of PC's learned faculty, pre-medical students take courses in organic chemistry, general physics, vertebrate anatomy, developmental biology, cell biology and genetics. Students complete these courses as early as possible to be better prepared for the Medical College Admissions Test or the Dental Admissions Test, both of which are administered in the spring of the junior year.

General education and major requirements are worked into a student's schedule and are usually completed during the senior year.
