Medicine
There are many directions when it comes to medicine so why narrow your options from the beginning? The field of medicine requires critical thinking, compassion, and the ability to step back and observe challenges from all angles. Tackling a bachelor’s degree at CMU means that you will have an understanding not only of the physical body, but of human behavior through our common curriculum. This preparation in undergrad gives CMU grads a leg up on their MCAT, interviews, and on applications into medical school.
Here is a sample of first-year courses that could act as a step on your journey towards a degree in Medicine:
- BIOL-1310 Cells and Energy
- HIST/INDS-2040 History of Indigenous Peoples of Canada
- PSYC/SOCI-2700 Interpersonal Communication
- CHEM-1010 Structure and Modelling in Chemistry
- SOCI/POLS-2000 Social Welfare
- PSYC-1010 Introduction to Psychology I: Foundations
- PSYC-1020 Introduction to Psychology II: Individuals and Interactions
- PSYC-2950 Brain and Behaviour
Other courses from CMU to fulfill selected bachelor’s degree requirements.
The Commons: What Sets CMU Apart
Please Note
- It is important that you inquire about admission and program requirements at the universities you are considering after CMU. You should work with the Advising office at CMU to construct a program of studies that will achieve your objectives. This is the responsibility of the student.
CMU is distinguished by its vision of the Commons. The Commons is the implementation of an interdisciplinary education. This approach creates graduates that write persuasively, speak confidently, and think critically. CMU is committed not only to giving students a credential, but to inviting them into a formative experience in which they exercise their thinking within a community of real-world engagement.
The Commons means that there are certain classes that all students get to take. These classes pull from core disciplines including Making, Theology, Science, Social Science, Indigenous Studies, Anabaptist Studies, and Ways of Knowing.
