Pre-Medicine

Successful students are good at making careful observations and recording information in a logical way. They excel at analyzing that information (critical thinking), which often involves employing basic math skills. Since many science courses involve laboratories, students often enjoy active, hands-on learning. The program requires a significant amount of hard work and study time, but can result in a very rewarding career.

Special advising for those interested in medicine is available through the University's Pre-Professional Advising Center (PPAC) located at 120 University Pavilion.  They assist with the entire process for admission into a medical school and also will work along with a student's college advisor to ensure the student is getting as much support as possible. 

Students in the UC College of Arts and Sciences (A&S) enjoy many benefits afforded through study at a research-intensive institution ranked among the nation's top 25 public research universities.
