The requirements for each school varies, but there is a common set of minimum course work necessary for a student to be prepared for graduate education in medicine, dentistry, optometry, and veterinary science.  Each school may have additional course work required beyond this minimum set of courses.  There courses are a component of a student’s Misericordia education, and they are not a major in and of themselves.  Student  may take any major on campus in addition to completing these courses to be prepared for the MCATs and a successful medical school application.  With careful planning, the medical professions preparation coursework, along with the requirements for a major, maybe completed in four years with majors in: Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, English, Government, Law, and National Security, History, Mathematics, Medical and Health Humanities, Philosophy, Health Science: Medical Science.  Other majors may require additional semester(s) of study.
