Pre-Med Program
The Pre-Medical and Pre-Health Professional
Studies Programs at Ramapo College are not academic majors,
but support structures created to maximize students’ ability
to secure admission to medical, dental, and other health-related
graduate schools. They offer an excellent opportunity for students
to prepare for entry into the health professions. For advisement,
students planning to pursue a career in the health sciences
should contact:
- The School of Theoretical and Applied Science (TAS), (201)
684-7734 or
- Dr. Rena Bacon, Associate Professor of Biology, (201)
684-7727 e-mail: rbacon@ramapo.edu
Most professional schools require the following science and
math courses for admission to their programs:
Fundamentals of Biology I and II - 8 cr.
Fundamentals of Chemistry I and II - 8 cr.
Organic Chemistry I and II - 8 cr.
Fundamental of Physics I and II - 8 cr.
Calculus I - 4 cr.
Additional recommended courses are:
Genetics - 4 cr.
Cell and Molecular Biology - 4 cr.
Anatomy and Physiology I and II - 8 cr.
The courses listed above make up a substantial part of the Biology
and Chemistry majors although students who plan professional
health careers are free to major in any area. The General Education
graduation requirements at Ramapo College are such that they
provide both science and non-science majors the kind of broad
base of knowledge sought by professional schools. Since the
standardized entry exams, e.g., MCAT, DAT, etc., are usually
taken either in the spring or late summer of the Junior year,
students are advised to complete these courses before their
Senior year to be adequately prepared for these exams.
