Pre-Health
If you are considering a career in a health profession, such as medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, veterinary school, and some others, there is a set of courses that you must take before applying. The most common ones are listed here. However, keep in mind that it is possible for a given school to have additional requirements and IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW THE REQUIREMENTS SPECIFIC TO THE SCHOOLS TO WHICH YOU PLAN TO APPLY. The basic "pre-health" curriculum consists of two years of chemistry, one year of biology, one year of physics, a course in biochemistry, a course in mathematics, and two English courses. Most medical schools recommend the pursuit of a broad liberal arts education, including the study of humanities and the social sciences; Medical school admissions committees look for well-educated, interesting students who do well when they apply themselves to a task or vocation.
Pre-Law
The College of Literature, Science, and the Arts has no official prescribed Pre-Law concentration or program. This position is consistent with repeated advice from law school deans and faculty, from the Law School Admission Council, and from the American Bar Association. The American Bar Association does not recommend any particular group of undergraduate majors, or courses, that should be taken by those wishing to prepare for legal education; developing such a list is neither possible nor desirable. The law is too multifaceted, and the human mind too adaptable, to permit such a linear approach to preparing for law school or the practice of law. Nonetheless, there are important skills and values, and significant bodies of knowledge, that can be acquired prior to law school and that will provide a sound foundation for a sophisticated legal education.
Pre-Business
The University of Michigan’s Business program leads to a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree. Admission to the program is highly competitive and is for the Fall term only.
