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, or a bachelor of science in public health. 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, chemistry, or public health advisor before planning their first semester schedule.
