Course Requirements

Specific course requirements do not vary widely for different medical schools. UAMS accepts AP credit for prematriculation requirements but not CLEP credit or correspondence courses for the required classes listed below. The specific requirments for the UAMS College Medicine can be found in the 2007 Guide for Applicants or by consulting the UAMS College of Medicine catalog. It is wise to check with your premedical advisor for requirements specific for all other medical schools.

For UAMS the following courses must be completed prior to matriculation:


*2 SEMESTERS or the equivalent usually means 6 credit hours for non-science courses or 8 credit hours for science classes, which includes 3 hours of lecture credit and 1 hour of laboratory credit per course.

**Calculus is not a specific requirement for UAMS but most medical school applicants complete at least Calculus I. If students have either AP credit for Calculus or complete only Calculus I as an undergraduate, the UAMS College of Medicine does not require a second mathematics course.
