Notes<\/td>The curriculum in the Pre-Medicine pathway is designed to prepare students for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) and entrance into medical school. A Bachelor’s degree (B.A.\/B.S.) is required prior to matriculation into medical school. No particular major is preferred, but a degree in Biology or Chemistry-Biochemistry encompasses many of the prerequisite courses.

As of February 2024, EOU has established an articulation agreement with the Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine (ICOM)<\/a>. Contact McKayla Neal, at mmneal@eou.edu, for more information!<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
