Program Requirements
Courses in the program usually include all or some of the following basic courses, and may also include advanced science courses (director's approval needed):
- Chem 103-104 (General Chemistry I and II)
- Biol 111-112 (General Biology I and II)
- Chem 253-254 (Organic Chemistry I and II)
- Physics 107-108 (College Physics I and II, non-calculus physics; familiarity with algebra and trigonometry required) or Physics 113-114 (College Physics I and II, calculus-level physics; primarily for physics and mathematics majors) and
- Physics 181-182 (laboratory)
Mathematics
About one fifth of the medical schools in the U.S. require calculus; college algebra is prerequisite for the chemistry and physics courses listed above.
Most medical schools will require college-level English courses, which may be taken at UMass Boston as required.
