Pre-Med/Pre-Health Tracks

At SUNY Geneseo, we encourage students to pursue a course of study aligned with their interests, regardless of whether it is within the sciences. Our flexible curriculum allows you to choose any major while also selecting the pre-health track that ensures you complete the necessary prerequisites for your desired healthcare career. This approach builds a rigorous science-based foundation through the prerequisite courses required by professional schools.

One key advantage of our pre-health tracks is their adaptability. If you decide to switch to a different healthcare career path, it’s easy to change tracks without falling behind on required coursework, making your education fully customizable.

Healthcare professional schools, including medical schools, seek students who are passionate about their undergraduate studies. They value applicants with demonstrated scientific aptitude and a well-rounded liberal arts education that includes courses outside the sciences.

In line with our mission, SUNY Geneseo is a distinctive public liberal arts college that welcomes and inspires students to develop their knowledge and skill to build a better world. We are dedicated to preparing students for a wide range of post-graduate programs, including professional allied health programs and medical and dental schools. As a highly selective public honors college, our students are highly sought after by many prestigious post-graduate institutions across the nation.

"A liberal arts education allows the brain to draw connections between things. As you learn more and more about a variety of topics, your brain begins to crosslink concepts that help to reinforce ideas. Geneseo does an amazing job at allowing students to start building these links early and often through its interdisciplinary curriculum. As I progress through medical school, I am constantly reminded that everything in medicine is connected. Thanks to Geneseo, I am able to quickly draws these links which have only furthered my understanding of the multifaceted topics of medicine."
