Students in Pre-Health Sciences: On Double Majoring in Physical Science

Students in pre-health programs must take many diverse sciences including at least 1 year of mathematics, 1 year of biology, 1 year of physics and 2 years of chemistry. These courses alone carry more than sufficient credit for a Physical Science major (although one semester of Modern Physics PHY 1970 must be included.)

The majority of pre-health students choose majors in biology or chemistry. To meet pre-health requirements, biology and chemistry majors respectively must take 36 or 24 science credits beyond their degree requirements. Most of these credits can be accepted toward a physical science major. Uusually, 3 additional one-semester physics courses can complete this second major.
