Advising Course Plan - Biology Major - Medical School Interest
Plan for Students Interested in Medical School (MD, DO) - Chemistry First Plan
This is an alternate plan for Biology pre-medical students who want to complete Biochemistry before taking the MCAT and avoid a year between Stetson and medical school but may not be prepared for two lab science courses during the first semester. Students who take this path should have a good background in Chemistry and Math from high school and a math SAT score between 600 and 650.
