Medical schools are interested in liberal arts graduates. Agnes Scott students have gone to medical school having majored in classics, art, French and other subjects. The Health Professions Advising Committee, advisory to the assistant dean of the College, counsels students on academic programs, preparation for professional school and ways to enhance acceptability into health programs. The committee writes letters of evaluation to each school to which a student applies. Students have the opportunity to meet with medical college faculty as well as medical students, some of whom are Agnes Scott alumnae.
Some schools require calculus.
A student can make many different course choices. If she is not majoring in chemistry or physics, she will most likely defer physics until the junior year. A student who majors in chemistry or biology should take introductory courses in that discipline during the first year. These programs apply to any major. Students are responsible for knowing the admission requirements of the professional schools to which they apply.
