By clicking on this link, you have chosen one of the most popular and one of the most competitive areas of science to enter. Science undergraduate programs are filled with students wanting to be doctors, dentists, and therapists. What will set you apart?

The first thing is a degree from Southwestern College. Not only will our program give you the broad understanding of science that you need to function in medical school, but it will also give you experience solving problems as a member of a team. Teamwork and the ability to work on a team are valued traits in all forms of health-related graduate schools.

Southwestern College students also spend many hours developing close, mentoring relationships with their faculty members. These same faculty members will be writing your letters of recommendation when it comes time to apply to the graduate school of your choice. After you have spent four years with a faculty member at Southwestern, they will be able to give you a letter of reference that not only testifies to your grades, but that also gives insight into your personality and specific skills as a graduate school candidate.
