An excellent premedical preparation can be obtained at Harvey Mudd College. In fact, the College\u2019s emphasis on the humanities and the social sciences<\/a> is a valuable asset for premedical studies. While there is no specific premedical curriculum, a premedical program can be arranged through any of the majors, if supplemented by appropriate biology and chemistry course work. Most medical schools require, as a minimum, one year of physics and biology and four semesters of chemistry, including organic chemistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prospective pre-medical students considering Harvey Mudd should realize that the College\u2019s technical requirements are considerably more demanding than in typical pre-med programs; however, Harvey Mudd\u2019s broad technical education can provide a firm foundation for a career in medicine, especially for those interested in medical research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
