PHYSICS AND PREPARING FOR A HEALTH PROFESSION 

Typical Sequence of Classes for Physics Majors
In the Pre-Med/Pre-Health Professions Program

The Pre-Health Professions Program supports students interested in going on to medical school, veterinary school, dental school, or any other professional school in the medical field.  Most physics majors choosing to be pre-health are interested in medical school, although there are other interesting ways to combine a physics major with a career in a medical field.  

Pre-med physics majors should consult carefully with both their physics faculty advisor and with the Pre-Health Professions Advisor, Dr. Mike King (mking@stetson.edu), as soon as possible in their first year (and during FOCUS orientation is best), as completing the requirements for the physics major, the pre-med requirements, and the University general education requirements takes careful planning.

The sequence of classes listed below roughly outlines the physics, mathematics, biology, and chemistry classes that a physics major participating in the pre-med/Pre-Health Professions Program can expect to take.  Physics, Mathematics, Biology, and Chemistry courses that are in bold font are generally offered every year, and those shown in italics are generally offered in alternate years.
