Pre-medical Program

Today’s medical schools seek entrants with degrees from a variety of disciplines.* In addition to biology and other science graduates, medical schools also welcome majors in history, business, mathematics, or religious studies, for example, because of the liberal education they receive while pursuing these degrees.  Chapman University uses its liberal arts resources to benefit pre-medical students by offering an array of appropriate courses in conjunction with a personalized approach to mentoring. Chapman pre-meds work closely with an adviser to ensure that necessary science courses, service-learning projects, and MCAT preparation are undertaken.

Chapman’s pre-medical chapter of The American Medical Student Association (AMSA) has an active calendar of events. AMSA is committed to providing the educational tools and resources needed for pre-medical students to successfully navigate the path towards the next phase of their medical education. The student-run group organizes service projects, tours to medical schools, attends regional and national meetings, hosts conferences, and holds study seminars.

*AP students, please note:
Not all medical schools accept Advanced Placement (AP) scores to satisfy admission requirements.  All pre-med students are urged to meet with their advisor to select appropriate course work.  Medical schools that do not accept high school AP courses in biology, chemistry, physics, calculus, and English will require that relevant prerequisite coursework be taken at a college or university for a letter grade.
