Top Undergraduate Medical Universities

Northwestern University

• The Weinberg College of Arts and Science at Northwestern University offers pre-medical advising to undergraduate students, which prepares the students to apply to medical school upon completion of an undergraduate degree. Students are permitted to major in any field, including liberal arts, though students commonly complete degrees in a formal or natural science.

  Premedical students work closely with advisers to ensure strong applications to medical school and jobs in the medical field. Premedical students at Northwestern usually take general chemistry and mathematics in their first year, and they often study high-level chemistry, biology and physics in their subsequent years.
