Pre-Medical Program, The Dr. Ezekiel R. Dumke Family

The goal of the pre-medical program is to prepare students for a national competitive examination (the MCAT) and for medical school admission and courses. The pre-medical program is compatible with a variety of majors. Pre-medical classes and/or emphases exist within several departments of the College of Science.

For information see weber.edu/premedicalprofessionalprograms or call the Pre-Medical Professional Programs office 801-626-7755.

Students pursuing this program should satisfy the pre-professional requirements while completing a bachelor’s degree. Students should work closely with both their pre-professional advisor and their academic major advisor. Since course loads are typically heavy, and requirements and application procedures vary among post-graduate programs, students should plan their academic strategies early and with full information.

Advisement

Students should be familiar with requirements in the Weber State catalog and consult with the pre-professional advisor and an advisor in their major department. Please visit the pre-professional advisement office to be added to the department roster and communications.
