MIT Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering

This suggested curriculum shows that two of the core Nuclear Science and Engineering Courses (18.085 and 8.03) will not be required for students interested in pre-med in nuclear engineering. They will be replaced by restricted electives that help them pass the medical school entrance examinations in their Junior year. This example is aimed at showing the minimum program to fulfill both the requirements for a BS in NS&E and the suggested program of study for applying to medical school:

• 1 yr Physics, 1 yr Chemistry with lab
• 1 yr Calculus, 1 yr Organic Chemistry with lab
• 1 semester Biochemistry, 1 yr Biology with lab
• 1 yr English literature & composition

Most students who plan on applying to medical school take additional courses. Students are encouraged to consult with a premed advisor and to take advantage of MIT's Office of Career Services and Preprofessional Advising (OCSPA).
