Program offered in On-campus formats.

*On-campus format will require some online classes for degree completion.

As a student involved in the pre-medical program, you will typically follow the Lindenwood curriculum for one of the following: a bachelor of science degree in biological science, a bachelor of science degree in chemistry, a bachelor of science degree in biochemistry, or a bachelor of science in cellular and molecular biology. Any of these degrees will get you the prerequisite coursework that you need to be a good candidate for application to a medical school.  These courses include:

  • General Chemistry at least 2 semesters (with laboratories)
  • General Biology at least 2 semesters (with laboratories)
  • General Physics - 2 semesters (with laboratories)
  • Organic Chemistry - 2 semesters (with laboratories)
  • English Reading and Composition - 2 semesters
  • Students must also complete an entrance test (MCAT, GRE, DAT or OAT).

Many health professions schools require or strongly recommend other courses such as biochemistry, cell/molecular biology, genetics, microbiology, statistics, calculus, humanities, fine arts, and social science. Students who want to prepare themselves for admission to one of these professional programs should meet with a biology or chemistry advisor before planning their first semester schedule.
