All pre-professional and allied health students are advised to research the school(s) where they intend to complete their professional or allied health program. General: Each of the above areas involves the completion of a minimum number of semester hours and certain required courses. Many of the specific course requirements are common to all programs, and it is in the student’s best interest to complete these requirements as early as possible. Careful scheduling is essential to ensure that courses are taken in proper sequence. Pre-Chiropractic Program: Students entering this program should determine the specific admission requirements from the school(s) of their choice at an early date. Most chiropractic colleges require a minimum of 90 hours of college credit to include the following: 6 hours of English, 12 hours chemistry (with a minimum of 3 hours inorganic chemistry and at least 6 hours organic chemistry and/or biochemistry), 8 hours of biology, 3 hours of psychology, 15 hours of social science or humanities, and 8 hours of physics. All students planning careers in chiropractic should contact the Fulbright College Advising Center, 518 Old Main, 479-575-3307. Pre-Dental Program: All dental schools require a minimum of three years of college work, and most schools give preference to applicants who have completed a baccalaureate degree. The minimum requirements for admission to most dental schools can be met at the University of Arkansas by completing the following courses: ENGL 1013, ENGL 1023 or equivalent composition course. BIOL 1543/1541L and at least 8 additional hours of biology (BIOL 1603/1601L is recommended) PHYS 2013/2011L, PHYS 2033/2031L, and CHEM 1103/1101L, CHEM 1123/1121L, CHEM 3603/3601L, CHEM 3613/3611L (CHEM 3813 Biochemistry is recommended or required by some schools). CLEP and AP credit is not accepted. Dental schools have a variety of additional course requirements and pre-dental students should check each school’s Web site. Mathematics is not a general requirement, but students are expected to have a background equivalent to college algebra and trigonometry. Students who complete a minimum of 90 hours of work may qualify for the combined degree program provided that they complete the requirements for graduation in Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences. All dental schools require the Dental Admissions Test. It is suggested that applicants take the DAT one year prior to the time they plan to enter dental school. A student planning a career in dentistry should contact Dr. J.C. Rose, Department of Anthropology, 479-575-2508. Pre-Medical Program: Medical schools in general require a minimum of 90 semester hours of college credit exclusive of military science and physical education, and most recommend that the student complete a baccalaureate degree. All medical schools have specific course requirements, and the student should determine those requirements for the school or schools of his or her choice. The minimum requirements for most medical schools can be met by completion of the following courses: ENGL 1013, ENGL 1023, or equivalent BIOL 1543/1541L, plus one other course in biological sciences, or equivalent CHEM 1103/1101L, CHEM 1123/1121L, CHEM 3603/3601L, CHEM 3613/3611L MATH 1203 and MATH 1213, or MATH 2554 PHYS 2013/ 2011L and PHYS 2033/2031L, or PHYS 2054 and PHYS 2074. CLEP credit is not accepted. Additional courses are recommended. Special opportunities and experiences are available to pre-medical students through the Liebolt Endowment. Pre-medical students are encouraged to complete the requirements for the B.A. or B.S. degree. As part of these requirements the student must choose a major, but the choice of a major has no direct bearing upon admission to medical school and should reflect the particular interests of the student. If a student is admitted to a medical school prior to completion of the baccalaureate degree requirements, he/she may wish to take advantage of the combined degree program in medical science. If that program is elected, the student should complete all of the basic University and college requirements for graduation during residence on the UA campus. Most medical schools require the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT), which is administered at several testing sites in Arkansas on specific dates from January to September each year. The MCAT normally should be taken in the spring preceding application to medical school. Admission to medical school is highly competitive, and a good grade-point average is demanded. A grade-point average of 3.30 is the minimum likely to receive favorable consideration. A grade of “D” in any course required by the medical school is not considered satisfactory. Advising is available through Dr. Neil Allison, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, 479-575-5179, and Dr. Jeanne McLachlin, 121
J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences Department of Biological Sciences, 479-575-5348. Dr. Allison serves as chair of the University of Arkansas Pre-medical Advisory Committee.

Typically they include courses in English, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. Some colleges and schools have specific requirements in psychology, social sciences, literature, philosophy, and foreign languages. Students in this program should determine the specific requirements from the college(s) they wish to attend at an early date and plan their program of study accordingly. Details concerning the program are available from the Fulbright College Advising Center, 479- 575-3307, 518 Old Main.

Students are advised to begin taking humanities electives during the second semester of their freshman year. Since pharmacy schools have many more applicants than they can accept, the student is urged to earn a gradepoint average much higher than the minimum of 2.00. Grades are a major consideration when admission committees evaluate a student’s qualifications for acceptance. The University of Arkansas College of Pharmacy and other pharmacy schools also require applicants to take the Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT). This may be taken in November or February.
