Selection of courses should be done in consultation with the Pre-Medical Advising Committee. Most Pre-Med students at Catawba College major in either Biology or Chemistry. The sequence of courses in these departments should include the expected courses for admission into medical, dental, or veterinary school. The recommended courses should also be included whenever possible.
