This major is designed as one option for students who plan to pursue medical school or related health programs such as dentistry and optometry.
Some medical schools require specific science courses while others have few specific requirements.
The courses listed below are those most often expected by medical schools, and they provide a broad science preparation that should help the student perform well on health-profession aptitude exams. However, medical schools do not require a pre-medicine major and most Bluffton College students who have entered health professions have majored in biology or chemistry or both. Science professors are prepared to help students examine these options.
