Most schools of medicine require at least a Bachelor of Arts degree of candidates seeking admission.
Medical schools specify certain subject requirements in science, but, with these satisfied, may give consideration to the student who avoids specialization in the sciences in favor of a broader general education. It allows for a wide choice of electives in accordance with the student s own interest. Since admission to medical school is based on many factors, the student is encouraged to consult with the adviser early in the first year of study and to work closely with the adviser while enrolled at Augustana.
