For those interested in the medical field, Agnes Scott provides a unique opportunity to create an experience specifically tailored to your post-graduate goals.
The preparation for medicine (pre-med) program is specially designed for students interested in attending medical, dental, veterinary, nursing, or public health school.
The pre-health track is a preparatory program that works in conjunction with the student’s choice of major. Typically, students major in biology; chemistry; neuroscience; or physics, although Agnes Scott students have gone to medical school having majored in psychology or a humanities discipline.
Students may make many different course choices, but courses primarily focus in the sciences, including study in biology, chemistry, and physics. Most medical, dental, and veterinary colleges require a full-year course with laboratory in biology, physics, inorganic (general) chemistry, and organic chemistry.
As a part of your unique experience on the pre-health professional track, you will work with an advisor to help ensure your major of choice aligns with your professional goals. Pre-health advising is open to any student — in any major — who is interested in a career in healthcare
