PRE-MEDICAL & PRE-DENTAL
Suggested Program of Study
NOTE: Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental programs do not lead to a degree. This program is only meant to meet medical and dental schools' prerequisite course requirements. To be most competetive for admission to a student's professional program of choice, the student should choose a Bachelor's degree program that is offered at Lamar University. Commonly a Biology or Chemistry degree is sought, however a degree in any area is acceptable to most professional programs.

During the Third & Fourth Years
Pre-medical students should take the appropriate courses to satisfy the
requirements for a Bachelor degree in a field of their choice. They
should begin application procedures at the end of the third year (see pre-med
advisor).
The Dental School at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston
requires CHEM 4411. This course is highly recommended by all other
medical/dental colleges. Pre-dental students should begin the application
procedure at the end of their second year (see pre-dental advisor).
Remaining courses required for any Bachelor's degree must also be completed.
^Recommended for students seeking a Chemistry
or Chemistry/Biology degree.
*Additional requirements listed for the
student's Bachelor's degree program.
