The Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental Programs

Special Undergraduate Academic and Co-Curricular Programs

From the first declaration of intention, the pre-medical or pre-dental student may consult Dr. Lee or Dr. Salem as an academic advisor. The function of the advisor is to see that students meet the course work requirements on schedule and to encourage them to maintain high performance and motivation. The advisor will also provide catalogs, literature and guidance about medical or dental school requirements, and counsel students on the MCAT (Medical College Aptitude Test) or the DAT (Dental Admission Test), which are usually taken at the end of the third year of college.

Finally, the Pre-Health Committee interviews the prospective applicant during the junior year and writes the official letter of recommendation.  Pre-medical and pre-dental students are encouraged to consult frequently with their advisors concerning their course work.
