Drexel Course Recommendations for Medical School
Please note, some medical schools have additional course requirements. Also, these course requirements are subject to change; please stay in touch with the Prehealth Coordinator to keep abreast of changes. COE students who matriculated prior to fall 2006 need to meet with the Prehealth Coordinator to review tDEC courses.
NOTE: If you are waived from certain courses (e.g., English or Mathematics courses), they do not count toward the credits that are required. Also, some medical schools will not accept AP credit in place of actual courses. Courses completed at a four-year school are generally favored over courses from a community college.
