Requirements for course work in math and upper level science

 

The core science requirements for admission to schools of medicine and dentistry are two semesters with laboratory of general chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, and introductory biology. Throughout the United States there are several medical and dental schools whose admissions requirements include the completion of additional science and/or math courses. Other professional schools, however, "strongly recommend" that applicants complete specific advanced science courses prior to matriculation. For admission to veterinary school, applicants generally must take several science courses in addition to the basics core science courses. Summaries of the advanced science requirements for admission to medical, dental, and veterinary school are included in the .pdf files below. Review the course information and discuss your academic planning with the health professions advisor.

General information about AAMVC participating colleges - updated for 2008.

Most of these schools participate in a centralized application service known as VMCAS.  The file below includes listing of the entire course requirements for each VMCAS-participating veterinary school.  Currently Texas A&M University, Tufts University, and Tuskegee University do not participate in VMCAS; therefore you will need to review the admissions office web sites for these schools for their specific requirements.
