Notes

Optional Mathematics Courses shown in red.

Auxiliary Science Courses shown in blue.

A number of schools have recently added a semester of Biochemistry to their pre-requisites, as shown in orange.

Special Health Professions Courses shown in green.

MCAT/DAT/PCAT/OAT/GRE preparatory courses shown in purple. These courses will be offered on campus at a discounted rate in collaboration with commercial providers. *We recommend that no electives or clinical experiences be undertaken during the first two summers, when a considerable amount of course work is taken over 10 weeks instead of 15 weeks.
