Counseling and Guidance

Sample Degree Plan - Pre-Med

Most medical schools require a minimum of three years of study (90 semester hours) completed at an accredited university. However, due to the competitive nature of medical school admissions, the completion of four years of college and a BA or BS degree is normally needed.  Most medical schools also require candidates to take the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT)

Pre-Medicine is not considered a major.  Pre-Medicine students have the option to major in any area they want, as long as they take the prerequisite courses required to enter medical school along with the courses needed to earn a bachelor’s degree.

The plan below indicates the Freshman and Sophomore courses taken by those planning to apply to Medical School. 

Courses vary slightly depending on which transfer university and ultimately which medical school is chosen.  WTC counselors can help you determine what coursework is recommended for the university you plan to attend.
