Pre-medicine
It's great that you're interested in preparing yourself for a career in medicine at James Madison University. The Center for Prehealth Resources has been established as the resource and advisory center for those students who are interested in preparing for medical school.
Students should know that "premedicine" is only a preprofessional intention and not an academic major. Most premedical students will obtain a Bachelor's degree from JMU in a major of their choice. Medical school admission committees are not particularly concerned with the undergraduate major, as long as applicants have completed certain basic course requirements. Medical schools have different requirements for admission and you need to become knowledgeable about individual requirements as soon as possible. You should consult Dr. Sharon Babcock for more specific information.
