PrerequisitesA major goal of undergraduate study should be intellectual development through the in-depth pursuit of some area of knowledge: humanities, social sciences or natural sciences. No specific course of study is required; however, completion of the following courses or their equivalent constitute the minimal requirements for admission:
Biochemistry may be used as a substitute for a second organic lab. Prerequisite course work must be taken for grade options, not pass-fail. Courses in mathematics, psychology and the humanities also provide excellent preparation for medical study. Non-science majors should try to include several upper-level courses in biology, chemistry or related disciplines. The College of Medicine strongly recommends that students obtain a bachelor's degree before entering medical school. All prerequisite coursework must be earned at colleges and universities recognized by one of the U.S. Regional Accrediting Agencies. If you have questions about whether a particular course meets the prerequisite requirement you should consult with your premedical advisor. If you are a University of Kentucky students your premedical advisors are listed on the Before You Apply Web page. Advanced Placement Credit
