dexter Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Some Unis only offer Biology and they dont offer pre Med if i were to puruse a carrer in Med actually study Medicine? Is it ok to take Biology at a uni such as Uni of Indiana And then take Medicine in NYU or UCLA/Cornell Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartworthy Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 If you're thinking about going to grad school, undergraduate studies don't matter that much. It's perfectly acceptable to study something other than medicine for undergrad then go grad school for medicine. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW whats the difference of arts and science Bachelor Degree?It doesn't really matter (at least in Canada). As long as you have the required prereqs, you can major in anything you want. I will be taking Biomedical Sci. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vvi Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 whats the difference of arts and science Bachelor Degree?"In the US, many colleges (particularly liberal arts colleges) as well as universities award the Bachelor of Arts for all academic (non pre-professional) subjects. In these institutions, students studying academic subjects (English, chemistry, etc.) would receive a Bachelor of Arts, students studying for professions (police science, finance, nursing) would receive a Bachelor of Sciences.Some schools award the Bachelor of Arts for the humanities and the Bachelor of Sciences for both natural sciences and social sciences. In some cases a student may choose between a B.A. course of study and a B.S. course of study in the same subject at the same college." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachelor%27s_degree)This is the same in England. Bachelor's of Science degrees have more maths courses associated with them."In the United States, a Bachelor of Science degree may be a more specialized version of B.A., with more focus on the subject and less on a broad liberal arts background; for example, a B.S. in economics may require several more advanced economics courses than a B.A. in economics, and possibly more support courses (such as statistics). The B.S. is also frequently used for professional areas of study such as engineering, journalism, accounting, and advertising." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachelor_of_Science)Not all colleges in the US offer B.Sc degrees. Some only have BA's. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
__inthemaking Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 It doesn't really matter (at least in Canada). As long as you have the required prereqs, you can major in anything you want. I will be taking Biomedical Sci. Biomed sci at Western? And yeah doesn't really matter, but pre-med may look better. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

biochem Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 What about the 7 year course, where the most competitive applicants enter. I dont know if the British system is the same, but I know a school I am looking at, along with others, offer a course program where you have to maintain extremely high grades, but should you maintain such grades, you continue on a 7 year path for medicine. I guess the courses offered in those first 4 years, would most likely be the most appropriate for undergraduate. My concealer told me about her brother who is a some great surgeon, but majored in English. She was talking about the same thing you guys are, about the undergraduate programs. Wait, if you major in something like English or whatever, how do u meet the requirements then for Med School? I myself need to be applying for college, and I still dont have a clue about what it is I am suppose to do for Med school. If anyone is willing to help me out, post here or PM me please thank you so much.. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneyfaery Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Wait, if you major in something like English or whatever, how do u meet the requirements then for Med School?As long as you fill the prereqs, you can apply for the med program in grad school. This is usually done with electives to keep your options open and whatnot. That's why people who graduate with degrees in Law, Eng, Arts, History, etc can be MDs too.
