Professional Health Careers
Pre-Medical/Dental School Major
The faculty from the Division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics of Concordia
University has summarized the prerequisites of the (1) four medical schools – University of
Michigan-Ann Arbor, Wayne State University-Detroit, and the two schools at Michigan
State University-East Lansing and (2) two dental schools - University of Michigan, and the
University of Detroit Mercy Dental College, in the state of Michigan. Professional schools
of medicine/dentistry in most cases require a baccalaureate degree from an accredited four
year college like Concordia. Some will allow transfer after 90 semester hours or three years.
Students are strongly urged to contact their medical/dental schools of choice for the exact
course prerequisites.
This program is to be followed by professional healthcare students wishing to apply to
Medical School, Dental School, or Colleges of Pediatric Medicine, Osteopathic Medicine,
Chiropractic Medicine, etc.
The following courses serve as the required and expected coursework for both the Medical
College Admission Test (MCAT) or Dental Admission Test (DAT) and Medical or Dental
School admission. Various factors (e.g. evidence of commitment to the profession, volunteer
services) are included in the admission process; Concordia offers no guarantee that the mere
completion of the following coursework will result in admission to these schools.
Certain coursework offerings are identified as Even (E) – offered during even academic
years (e.g. 2006-07, 2008-09) or Odd (O) – during odd academic years (e.g. 2005-06,
2007-08)
