| SUMMARY |
CREDIT HOURS
|
| We recommend that students gain practical work experience related to the proposed field of study. The students should inform the health professions advisor as to the school(s) they hope to enter, and check that school's publications for other requirements. Medical and dental schools do not specify an undergraduate major. They require admission tests, and usually have specific course requirements, but no sequence of courses will guarantee acceptance. Southern Wesleyan University graduates majoring in biology, chemistry, history, and psychology have been accepted to medical or dental schools. |
