What are the Pre-Med or Pre-Vet requirements?
A#7: Pre-Med (or Vet) is NOT a concentration. It is a set of course requirements*, dictated by and agreed upon in general by most medical schools. As an undergraduate, you can concentrate in ANYTHING, and ALSO fulfill pre-medical careers coursework. If you happen to choose one of the biological sciences programs, you will find that some of these courses form part of your concentration program. For more details, please refer to the Summary Flyer available at the Health Careers Office, Rhode Island Hall, Room 108, or the website: http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Dean_of_the_College/hco/ *In general, these are the pre-health careers requirements: CH 33, 35, 36; Physics 3,4; at least one semester of calculus (MA 9; sometimes 10 as well); your choice of at least 2-4 Biology courses, (two of which must have laboratory components); 2 English courses. Some vet schools add Biochemistry and/or Microbiology to this list.
