Majors and Coursework

There is no pre-medical major at the University of Michigan. Because medical schools do not have any specific preferences for particular undergraduate majors, you have a great deal of freedom in selecting a major. Students applying to medical school choose every major from Art to Zoology. Some students choose to concentrate in one of the sciences and others choose to focus on other areas. You are encouraged to choose a major that interests you, while weaving the required pre-medical courses into your elected curriculum. Follow your heart and make the most of your undergraduate education to help you develop a well-rounded academic background. Pre-medical counselors at The Career Center are happy to work with you and discuss ideas for potential majors based on your interests, skills, and career goals.
