PROGRAMS OF STUDY & COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
Pre-Health Preparation

The following courses prepare students for admission to professional schools in such areas as medicine, dentistry, optometry, and podiatry:
BIO 1011–1012 (C or R&L); CHE 1045–1046 (C or R&L); CHE 1213–1214 (C or R&L); MAT 1412; MAT 1413 or STA 1021; PHY 1041–1042 (R&L). These requirements may vary from professional school to professional school. Students should contact the pre-med advisor and review the regulations of each professional school they wish to enter in order to make sure they are satisfying particular admission requirements. In addition, the student must have a major in any other subject.

Accelerated programs saving the student a year in achieving a degree in dentistry, optometry, or podiatric medicine are offered in combined plans by Yeshiva University and the NYU College of Dentistry, SUNY College of Optometry, and the New York College of Podiatric Medicine, respectively. During the first three years of these programs, the student fulfills the above requirements. Upon receiving the recommendation of the Yeshiva College Office of the Dean, the student is admitted into the cooperating school and attends for four years, qualifying for degrees at both institutions. YU confers the bachelor of arts degree upon a student undertaking the combined plan at the successful completion of the fourth year of study.

Students in a combined plan must maintain registration until they receive the B.A. degree. They must meet the same requirements for graduation as all students who spend three years in residence at the university.
