Thiel College - Academics




	Home Program Requirements		Academics > Majors and Areas of Study > Pre-Medicine What is the Pre-Med Program? At Thiel, the Pre-Med track is the same as the Traditional Biology track. Students are prepared for either medical school or osteopathy school by following a program that includes 32 credit hours of biology, 16 credit hours of chemistry - introductory chemistry and organic chemistry, and 8 credit hours of physics. While at Thiel, students have opportunities to shadow physicians and to engage in independent research projects on medical topics. Students are also assisted in obtaining summer research internships, particularly during the summer between junior and senior years. Where do students go after Thiel? Students are prepared to enter any school of medicine or osteopathy in the country. Recent graduates are attending West Virginia School of Medicine and Ohio University School of Osteopathic Medicine. Thiel currently has an agreement with Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine that guarantees our students an interview if an appropriate GPA is maintained and designated courses are taken. A guaranteed interview by-passes some of the early selection steps in the process of admission to professional school.
