Pre-Professional

Pre-Medicine

Though Pre-Medicine is not an official degree program, Mizzou has resources dedicated to helping interested students pursue admission into medical school. These include:

  • MedOpp Advising. The MedOpp Advising Office provides pre-professional advising for ALL students interested in medicine, dentistry, optometry, podiatry, PA, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. See https://premed.missouri.edu/prospective/ for more information.
  • Academic Advisor.

Medical schools accept applicants with a variety of majors which include everything from Music to Engineering; however, most students choose a Mizzou major with degree program requirements that overlap with requirements for medical school such as Biological Sciences, Medicinal Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biological Engineering, Nutrition and Exercise Physiology, Psychology, and Health Sciences.
