Post-Baccalaureate / Pre-Medical
Non-degree

Purpose

This program is designed for those students who already possess a B.A. or B.S. degree, but lack specific course work required for admission into medical schools (and dental schools). The typical courses involved are life science courses in the areas of biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics.

Our Lady of the Lake College offers the following pre-med courses, required for matriculation into medical (dental) schools, as part of its Bachelor of Science in biology, human medicine concentration program. Students holding B.A. or B.S. in non-life science fields are encouraged to apply.
