UF College of Medicine Req

Basic Science Requirements: The minimum science admissions requirements include basic introductory courses and laboratories in the following subjects:

• Biology – 2 semesters, with labs (8 credit hours)
• General Chemistry - 2 semesters, with labs (8 credit hours)
• Organic Chemistry – 1 semester, with lab (4 credit hours)
• Biochemistry - 1 semester (3 or 4 credit hours)*
• Physics – 2 semesters, with labs (8 credit hours)

For students who desire additional background in science, courses in genetics, microbiology and physiology might be considered. It is not necessary to choose one of the sciences as a college major. We welcome applicants with either nonscience majors or substantial work in liberal arts fields.

Mathematics: No specific requirement is set in the area of mathematics since, at most colleges, some mathematics is prerequisite to physics and chemistry. Some college work in calculus is strongly recommended. Familiarity with the principles of statistics and their application to the analysis of data is an important asset for any medical student. A knowledge of computer programming is valuable in medical education, but is not required.
