Program Requirements
No specific major is required, but all pre-medical fields will require a good foundation in the natural sciences, highly developed communication skills, and a solid background in the social sciences and humanities. Most students major in one of the sciences, usually biology, biochemistry, or chemistry. The entrance tests require excellent verbal reasoning skills, so a good background in English is also advised.
