Pre-Medicine
Bachelor of Science in Biology, Chemistry or Biological Chemistry (Pre-Medical Track)
Physicians diagnose and treat patients and aim to bring health and restoration to people’s bodies. Our Pre-Med program is designed to help students succeed in gaining acceptance to medical school after graduating from Evangel. We have an excellent track record: Since the early 1990s, 92 percent of Evangel University’s medical school applicants have been admitted to medical school if their GPA was at least 3.5 and their medical school entrance exam score was average or better (25+).
The Evangel University Department of Science and Technology is dedicated to the spiritual, academic and social growth of every student. The department’s purpose is to provide an excellent scientific education that is thoroughly integrated with the University’s emphasis on the development of strong Christian character. Within this framework, students must contend with new scientific, social, ethical and technological challenges. Students learn to communicate technical concepts clearly and effectively and exhibit analytical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Our pre-med curriculum is tailored to provide the knowledge that students need for the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) and medical school. Most pre-med students choose a major in biology, biological chemistry, or chemistry. The rigors demanded by courses in biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics challenge the students to successfully prepare for their future careers. This curriculum integrates research at several levels, culminating in a mentored research project either on or off-campus. We also assist our students to arrange for physician shadowing, volunteering and medical internships to gain valuable insights into the benefits and challenges of a career in healthcare.
In the past decade, EU graduates have attended many medical schools. A partial list of those schools includes the following: AT Still, Creighton University, Des Moines University, George Washington University, Kansas City University of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Loma Linda University, Penn State University, University of Indiana, University of Kansas, University of Missouri, University of West Virginia, Western University Health Sciences and Wright State University.
