What is the best major for a pre-med student at Pepperdine University?
Medical schools do not require a specific major course of study and Pepperdine does not offer a “pre-med” major. A student should choose a major that is intellectually challenging and about which one is passionate. Genuine interest in your chosen major should motivate you to do well and will result in closer relationships with your professors from whom you might later request letters of recommendation. You may select any major offered at Seaver College (catalog link), including non-science majors, and still be a pre-med student. However, one advantage of majoring in science is that most (if not all) of the pre-med curriculum will also be required courses for your major. If you choose a non-science major, you will have to complete the pre-med courses in addition to the courses required for your major.
