Montclair State University has launched a new Pre Medical Program for the fall 2021 semester, creating new opportunities for students by preparing them to pursue careers in medical fields, take the MCAT exam, and apply to medical school.

The Pre Med Program will be an interdisciplinary offering that students in any major can pursue. Students will receive focused preparation for the MCAT exam and advising for applying to medical school, with the goal of increasing the entrance of historically underrepresented students into medical school cohorts and ultimately into the medical profession.

“The creation of our pre-medical support will fill a special need for our current students, have the potential for significant impact on the success of our graduates, and will help create diversified pools of qualified medical school applicants,” says Lora Billings, dean of the University’s College of Science and Mathematics, which will house the program.
