Simmons offers an accredited pre-medical program that is appropriate preparation for careers in dentistry, medicine, optometry, podiatry or veterinary medicine.  There may be additional courses that are required by veterinary medical programs or recommended by medical colleges in general.

Undergraduate preparation for medical, dental, or veterinary school should include a strong foundation in the natural sciences and a background in the social sciences and humanities. These schools prefer students with a broad undergraduate education; admission requirements can be fulfilled within the context of almost any liberal arts or science major at Simmons.

The health professions adviser, Mary Owen, will assist students with program planning and with the application process. Students should register with her by the end of the freshman year.
