Presbyterian College always has each year a strong group of students who are accepted into medical schools in South Carolina and Georgia Medical Schools.

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 and pre-dental 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 and pre-dental 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.
Students interested in pursuing a career in an allied health science field such as nursing, radiologic technology, dental hygiene and medical technology spend two or three years at PC and then transfer to a medical university or other professional school to complete the training. |
