Choose Your Own Path for Pre-Medicine Studies
As an undergraduate pre-med student at Truman, you can pursue the major that’s the best fit for you. Each major available offers different strengths and variations in your approach to medicine—many pre-med students major in a basic science such as biology, chemistry, or physics. Other common pre-med majors include health science, exercise science, or psychology.
Biology majors may be eligible to participate in the University of Missouri Columbia School of Medicine Bryant Scholars Pre-admission Program. Students are annually selected from Truman to interview for early acceptance to the medical school. Qualified sophomores may apply for early acceptance to A.T. Still University (ATSU) through the Pre-Osteopathic Scholars Program.
