Overview

Completion of the B.S. degree does not necessarily confer a competitive advantage for students when applying to either medical or graduate programs. In addition, the significantly greater number of science courses required for the B.S. degree makes it extremely difficult for students to pursue a double major or a minor in another discipline.
