Mathematics: At least 2 semesters of college-level mathematics; one semester of calculus (MAC 2311 or 3472) is recommended. Some medical schools stipulate additional calculus courses. 
General Chemistry: CHM 2040-2041-2046 and CHM 2045L-2046L, or CHM 2045-2046 and 2045L-2046L, or CHM 2047 and 2047L. 

Organic Chemistry: CHM 2210-2211 and 2211L, or CHM 2215-2216 and CHM 2215L-2216L, or CHM 3217. 

Biochemistry: 1 semester is recommended by most professional schools and required by many medical schools. BCH 4024 or CHM 4207. 

Physics: PHY 2053-2054 and PHY 2055L-2056L, or PHY 3048-3049 and PHY 2055L-2056L. 

Biology: BSC 2010-2011 and BSC 2010L-2011L. 

English: At least 2 semesters at the college level. Some medical schools require 3 courses in English with emphasis on composition. Many medical schools do not stipulate whether their English requirements are for composition or literature courses, but composition courses are recommended to strengthen communication skills and help prepare for admission tests. 

The above courses will meet the basic requirements for most schools of allopathic, chiropractic, optometric, osteopathic, podiatric, and veterinary medicine. The prescribed course requirements for admission to dental, medical, and optometric schools in the United States are very similar. However, requirements can vary slightly and should be carefully investigated. The detailed requirements for any school can be found in the school catalogs section of the microfiche library located on the third floor of Library West (Graduate Research Library), the Health Science Center Library in the Communicore Building, or in the following books: Medical School Admission Requirements, Admission Requirements of United States and Canadian Dental Schools, and Veterinary Medical School Admission Requirements. You can usually find these books at the Bookstore at the Hub or at the Health Science Center. If you can not find them, ask a bookstore to order you one. 
 

ADDITIONAL COURSE RECOMMENDATIONS

Predental students are encouraged to take additional courses in the following:

Microbiology: MCB 3020-3020L 
Psychology: PSY 2013 
Other Social and Behavioral Sciences 
Immunology: PCB 5235 (prerequisite, MCB 3020-3020L)

Preoptometry students should take the following courses: 

Psychology: PSY 2013, plus an additional psychology course 
Microbiology: MCB 3020-3020L 
Statistics: STA 2023 
Also recommended are: 
Animal Physiology: PCB 4723C (prerequisite, BSC 2011-2011L, general physics, or instructor's permission) 
Functional Vertebrate Anatomy: ZOO 3713C (prerequisite, BSC 2011-2011L)

Preveterinary students should take the following:

Intro. to Animal Science: ASG 3003C (prerequisite, APB 2150 or higher biological science) 
Princ. of Animal Nutrition: ASG 3402 (prerequisite, CHM 2046-2046L) 
Genetics: PCB 3063 (prerequisite, BSC 2011-2011L, general chemistry) 
Microbiology: MCB 3020-3020L (prerequisite, C or better in BSC 2010-2011L, BSC 2011-2011L, CHM 3210) 
Statistics: STA 2023

Chemistry is the longest sequence of the preprofessional courses, and should be started as soon as possible since it is also a prerequisite for the required organic chemistry courses. Therefore, most students take chemistry and math in their first year. In the second year, most students take biology and either organic chemistry or physics. Transfer students who do not complete the entire general chemistry sequence before transferring to UF will have to consult with a Chemistry advisor at UF before attempting to register for a general chemistry course. Students who have not taken any chemistry will have to take the SATII Chemistry Subject Exam before registering for CHM 2040 or CHM 2045.
