Selection of Major
You can major in any undergraduate degree area,
provided you include pre-health prerequisites in
your course of study and do well in them.
Successful applicants have majored in many nonscience
subjects such as economics, philosophy and psychol-
ogy, as well as the more common science majors such
as chemistry, biochemistry and biological sciences.
You should major in what interests you. Most students,
however, do major in science because this ensures that
there will be a great deal of overlap between courses
required for their major and those required for
professional school and graduate school programs;
it makes course planning easier. Those choosing
nonscience majors often make their choices for breadth
and do very well in the applicant pool.
