Coursework
An academic major in biology or chemistry
is not required even though most students choose these alternatives.
While a bachelor degree is not always required for admission, 99 percent
of the entering students have a baccalaureate degree or higher. The
right combination of sciences, social and behavioral sciences, and
electives is critical.

IMPORTANT
All pre-professional students need to see their
pre-professional adviser as
early as possible. Planning a course of study with a CMU adviser is
critical since entrance requirements vary from one school to another.
Students must also make early contact with schools to which they may be
applying.
Students who intend to graduate with a
degree from CMU must complete, and have their adviser sign, a "Major
Authorization" form prior to finishing 56 credit hours.
Students who plan to transfer to a
professional school must complete and have their adviser sign an "Intent
to Declare Major" form prior to completing 56 credit hours.
Forms available at the Registrars Office or
your adviser.
