BS in Pre-Medicine

• The demand for ethical, effective physicians is always high. If you possess the aptitude for science and the heart for helping those in need, let us help you prepare for a career in medicine. Realization of that dream will depend upon a high quality undergraduate experience. We have a long history of preparing motivated, qualified students for successful entry into medical schools. Make a difference in your community by combining character, social, and intellectual competencies to become a contributing member of the healing profession. 
• Your success as a premedical applicant and medical school student will require a working knowledge of the natural and behavioral sciences. Our distinguished faculty will guide you through rigorous coursework in biology, chemistry and physics. In these courses, you’ll have access to state-of-the-art labs and research opportunities. 
• Our Health Professions Advisory Committee (HPAC) also will walk alongside and provide guidance for satisfying prerequisite requirements, networking opportunities and interview preparation. In addition to regularly notifying you of on-campus workshops, speakers and professional school representatives, HPAC will keep you posted regarding online webinars and regional health fairs.
• HPAC scholarships are awarded as need-based supplemental financial aid to a number of qualified pre-health applicants. The HPAC also provides merit-based Ward Scholarships and Ward Research Fellowships to a few exceptional students who have been nominated and selected by faculty. Our aim is to provide you with all the tools and resources needed for your success as a professional school applicant.
• Program Foundations
• We continue to rank high for premedical preparation in our region. In addition to having access to an excellent curriculum and highly-trained, caring faculty, our students receive an education based upon founding principles: compassion, intelligence, maturity, judgment and commitment modeled by the Great Physician. These qualities distinguish our graduates and make for a successful career in health care.
• Let us help you get on track with the right prerequisites and experiences to meet your professional goals. The Health Professions Advisory Office is home base for all of our pre-medical/pre-health care students, so bring your questions. Our committee consists of knowledgeable, respected professionals and educators who are ready to assist you in each step of planning — even if you don’t have a plan. We’re happy to discuss your dreams, ideas and goals so that you can choose undergraduate courses and experiences that will prepare you to become a competitive graduate applicant. When you apply to professional school, our committee will interview you so that we can prepare your letter of evaluation. Be sure to reserve your interview in the HPAC office one or two semesters in advance of your anticipated application date. 
• Register with our office each fall so we can keep you informed of campus activities and services relevant to your career choice. We want to get to know you.
