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.
