About the Program
This program as been designed to supply all the necessary education required to become a biomedical professional as well as supporting the development of analytical, empathic, professional, oral and written communication skills. To achieve this, in addition to standardized classes required for all science majors, the major has at its heart a core of 9 courses targeted to meet these needs. Pre-Medical Studies majors are also offered electives unique at undergraduate level including Histology and Pathology, which provide excellent training for professional interactions in medicine and allied health fields. A student enrolled in this major can expect to progress through a well-organized, comprehensive series of courses and clinical experiences developed and implemented by highly qualified faculty and administrative staff using Philadelphia University facilities and outside clinical sites.
Our students have gone on to successful careers in a variety of biomedical fields, primarily allopathic and osteopathic medicine, but also in veterinary and chiropractic medicine, dentistry, podiatry and optometry. Alumni from the Philadelphia University Pre-Medical Studies Program have attended or are currently enrolled in Temple University (Medical, Dental and Podiatric Schools), University of Pennsylvania Veterinary School, Thomas Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and Logan College of Chiropractic Medicine. We have a high post-graduation placement rate (over 90%) which we attribute to our small class sizes, unique course offerings and individual student counseling.
