“Pre-med” and “Pre-dental” are NOT undergraduate majors. Students will need to select an academic major in order to earn a bachelor’s degree in preparation for application to these professional programs. Most students interested in these careers major in a scientific field (biology, chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, physics, etc), but students can major in any field as long as application requirements are met according to the professional schools’ specifications. The curriculum below is based on the programs at the University of Mississippi Medical Center (unless otherwise noted). In most cases, online coursework will NOT be accepted to meet pre-requisite requirements. Students should consult with the school of their choice for specific guidelines.

Program Requirements

The following advisement plan is a recommended course of study. An academic advisor may alter course sequence to meet individual student needs. In addition, an academic advisor may recommend additional or different courses depending upon student career plans and/or requirements of the college or university to which the student plans to transfer.
