Pre-Med and the Environmental Sciences Major
According to the Career Center, the courses in Column 1 in the table below are the prerequisite courses required by most medical schools. Columns 2, 3, and 4 show how the requirements for the different Environmental Sciences concentrations match with the pre-med requirements.
- A check mark,
, indicates that
the pre-med course is required by the ES major in that concentration. - "Optional" means that the pre-med requirement can be used to fulfill an ES requirement, but that other courses could also be used. The requirement that the course can fulfill is indicated.
- If nothing is indicated in the box, the pre-med course is not a part of the ES requirements. ES students who are trying to complete the pre-med curriculum will need to take the class as an elective.
Please note that pre-med prerequisites may vary somewhat at your choice of medical schools. Consult with the Career Center for assistance.
