Undergraduate Course Requirements

You are currently viewing the 2016–17 PLFSOM school catalog.

A baccalaureate degree is required, and at least three years of study (90 semester hours or the equivalent in quarter hours) from an accredited United States or Canadian college or university must be completed before the individual applies for admission. 

Course work from non-U.S. or Canadian schools will be accepted only if it appears, with a grade, on the transcript of a U.S. or Canadian college or university as an individual course. All prerequisite courses for medical school must have been taken for credit at an accredited U.S. or Canadian college or university.

Specific course requirements have been kept at a minimum to allow and encourage the student to have a broad and well-rounded education. There are no specific requirements for undergraduate majors. The Admissions Committee reviews the academic challenge provided by course selection and gives preference to students with a broad educational background.
