Summer
Session 2009 offers the following series of science and mathematics
courses
designed to meet the special academic needs of students who plan to
apply to
medical or dental school. The scheduling
for this series of courses
has been
developed to allow students to enroll in one of the Chemistry courses
and one
of the Physics, Mathematics, or Statistics courses during each of MSU's
two
six-week summer sessions, thus enabling students to earn up to 16
science and mathematics credits
in only 12 weeks. Another course available to pre-med students this summer is BIOL 207 - Anatomy and Physiology I for 5 credits.
