Supplementing traditional degree requirements at Kettering with the Pre-Med minor prepares students for a career in the health sciences. This minor is ideal for students who are considering going into further professional education in medicine or healthcare-related programs. Completing this minor ensures students get a well-rounded science education, and forms a foundation for a range of training in allied health fields.
- Other requirements for most medical schools, such as one year of college math, physics, statistics and courses in liberal studies, are already included within most degree programs at Kettering.
- While most medical schools do not usually require other courses as prerequisite courses, we also recommend taking other specific courses to help prepare students who plan on taking the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT). These include Anatomy & Physiology (BIOL-341), and a Psychology course (PSYC-350).
