Advising Contacts:Premedical

479-575-5348
SCEN 625

 

"Premedical" is not a major, but a pre-professional curriculum required for medical school. The primary contact for pre-medical advising is Dr. Jeanne McLachlin, Associate Director Premedical Program, SCEN 625. However, except for first-year biology majors, she will not be your academic advisor in your major. Most premedical students will have a major advisor and a premedical advisor during their college career. Please see the information below for more details. Contact the Advising Center if you have any questions.

For registration advising, come prepared knowing what courses you have completed and what courses you still need.  You can view your completed courses through your Student Center on ISIS.  Print off and complete the appropriate advising checksheet from the Major Checksheets link in the Degree Planning section. Please bring this with you to the advising appointment.
