What is the pre-med program like at Dartmouth?
While Dartmouth does NOT have a pre-med MAJOR, it does have a set of pre-med requirements that sufficiently prepares an undergraduate student for medical school. The advantage here is that students are able to complete the pre-med course track while majoring in a completely different area, such as Economics or Anthropology. The set of pre-med requirements include two physics, math, and biology classes, three classes in Chemistry, and a writing course requirement. All of these courses can also be counted towards fulfilling requirements for specific majors and minors. Dartmouth also encourage more women to persist in science, math, and engineering by creating and fostering a supportive academic and social climate that will aid women in pursuing science as a major and a career.
