Ph.D. Ursuline College is an excellent place to prepare for successful admission into the health professions, including medicine, osteopathic medicine, podiatry, dentistry, optometry and veterinary medicine.
Medical schools encourage prospective applicants to obtain a broad undergraduate education.
The Pre-Med Program is not a defined major but a recommended course of study. Students wishing to gain entry into medical school are encouraged to become involved in a research project. Such projects enable a student to demonstrate her ability to use reference materials, to think critically, to analyze, to solve problems and to communicate skillfully with colleagues by means of both written and oral presentations. The Biology major with a pre-medicine emphasis at Ursuline requires research as part of the program. Medical schools use criteria to measure the ability of their prospective students to learn independently, to evaluate, to critically analyze situations and to solve problems.
