Program Type: Undergraduate
Degree Awarded: Students typically obtain a B.S. in Biological Sciences (cellular/molecular/genetics track) or Biochemistry because these degrees include all the requirements needed for entry into medical school, but any major or track will work as long as entry requirements are met.
