Quincy University recommends that pre-medical sciences students complete a baccalaureate program in either biological sciences or chemistry. Many medical and dental schools, however, do accept students majoring in other disciplines who have completed a pre-professional sequence in science and mathematics.
Students who intend to enter professional schools in preparation for such professions as medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, optometry, podiatry, osteopathy, chiropractic, occupational therapy, and physical therapy should plan, in consultation with their academic advisors, their pre-medical sciences programs according to the admission requirements of the approved schools in their chosen profession.
See Biology or Chemistry for recommended degree requirements. See also Exercise Science (Pre-Physical Therapy Concentration) .
