Getting a degree as a physician is a difficult, but rewarding task. Your first step is to earn a bachelor’s degree from BHSU. At BHSU we have created a recommended program of study that will make your journey to becoming a physician a reality. It takes about 11 years to become a medical doctor.
Most pre-med students choose to earn a bachelor’s degree in biology, chemistry, or psychology. BHSU students have the opportunity for interactive educational experiences and one-on-one mentoring with science faculty. Faculty meet with students as they prepare for the medical exam (MCAT)and the medical school application process. The research experience and extracurricular learning experiences at BHSU give our students a competitive edge.
