Pre-Professional Programs: Pre-Medical

The USC Upstate Pre-Medical program is an advisement track within the biology degree program, though some pre-medical students prefer to major in chemistry. Although medical schools do not require a bachelor’s degree, very few students enter medical school without completing one. Students already having a degree and aiming for medical school should concentrate on taking the specific courses that will best prepare them for taking the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT).
