Curriculum
There is no required undergraduate major for admission to medical school. While many Centre students choose traditional science majors such as biochemistry and molecular biology, biology, chemistry, or neuroscience others have successfully pursued paths in anthropology/sociology, business, classics, religion, and Spanish.
In the second semester of your sophomore year, you may apply for the Early Assurance Program (EAP) with University of Kentucky College of Medicine (UK-COM). Centre’s partnership with the UK-COM provides early assurance of admission for selected UK-COM campuses (Northern, Western or the Rural Physician Leadership Program in Morehead) for elite students who complete the program requirements and graduate from Centre College.
