An 11-trimester program plus one

trimester Practicum that prepares

students for possible careers as students for possible careers as

Medical Physicists

The program already includes a

substantial number of Chemistry and

Biology courses, it will take only a

few more subjects to enable you to

take the NMAT and proceed to

medical school, if you choose to

A 9-trimester premed programA 9-trimester premed program

Offers a different perspective to preparation for

medical school by concentrating on the application

of physics in medicine
