Medical School

Students majoring in geology can also be pre-med. How is this possible? Medical schools only have 8 course requirements for admission:

  • 2 semesters of general chemistry
  • 2 semesters of organic chemistry
  • 2 semesters of biology
  • 2 semesters of physics

These courses satisfy the allied science requirements for the geology major. Medical school does not require a degree in biology or chemistry like most people think. A major in geology can set you apart from other pre-med students and will not hinder your chances of getting into a program.
