Pre-med is just taking the courses you need to get into med school, within any major. This is UCSF.

Course Requirements We strongly recommend that premedical students pursue a four-year undergraduate curriculum and obtain a baccalaureate degree before entering medical school.

However, we only require completion of three years (135 quarter units or 90 semester units) of acceptable transfer college credit from an accredited institution, including the required college-level courses listed below. Only 105 acceptable quarter units can be transferred from a junior or community college.

Students who enter the School of Medicine without a bachelor's degree may receive a bachelor of science degree in medical sciences after satisfactorily completing the first three terms of the curriculum leading to the doctor of medicine degree.

Required Courses

Quarter Units

General Chemistry, one year with laboratory	12
Organic Chemistry	8
Physics, one year with laboratory	12
General Biology, one year with laboratory, including the study of vertebrate zoology	12-15

Courses in vertebrate embryology, genetics, cell physiology, or comparative vertebrate anatomy, with laboratory, will satisfy the biology requirement for admission.

Advanced Placement credit will be accepted for the general chemistry and general physics requirements for admission if the credit is verified on your college transcript.

We also recommend that premedical students take mathematics courses, upper-division biological science courses, humanities courses, and English composition courses.

Undergraduate Majors We welcome applicants who have pursued a wide range of undergraduate disciplines. Students who elected to major in the humanities and social sciences are also expected to complete the required science courses. This does not mean that we encourage students to pursue a smattering of knowledge in a great many subjects. Rather, we believe that you gain the richest, most satisfying intellectual experience from the in-depth study of a subject that captures your passion.
