Premedicine Concentration

Join us for an Information Session to learn more about this program! Click here to reserve your seat today.

The premedicine concentration admits postbaccalaureate students seeking the laboratory science courses in biology, general and organic chemistry, and physics required for application to most medical schools and related professional schools. This concentration offers 12 courses scheduled as lectures on weeknights and Saturday laboratories in the fall, winter, and spring quarters on the Evanston campus ( Review Sample Course Plan ). SCS students typically enroll in two courses per term, each with a laboratory, and should expect to complete the program in a total of six quarters or 21 months.

Students in the premedicine concentration may accelerate their schedule by enrolling in intensive Summer Session courses (CHEM 101, 102, 103, and PHYSICS 130-1,2,3), with the expectation of completing all courses in 12 to 15 months. The Summer Session courses require full-time study. (Please note that the Summer Session intensive biology sequence is not a substitute for the SCS biology sequence.)

While this program meets minimal requirements for application to medical and related schools, students are strongly advised to find out the admission requirements of the medical schools in which they are interested before enrolling in the PDP to ensure that the SCS program fulfills their requirements.
