Most medical schools require, as a minimum, one year of general biology, one year of general or inorganic chemistry, one year of organic chemistry, one year of physics, one year of math and one year of English. Current revisions of the MCAT exam also require a working knowledge of psychology, sociology and biochemistry.
Some schools require a foreign language. Some schools have additional requirements, such as behavioral science or quantitative analysis. It is essential that students examine specific admission requirements of the schools of interest to them and plan their college work to meet those requirements. Here at Bucknell, the pre-health adviser will assist the student in working out a curriculum to meet all the course requirements for medical school.
