What will I learn?

Medical diagnostics is a clinically-oriented science program that incorporates the basic science courses required for admission to medical schools with medically-related courses that have impact on the diagnosis and therapy of disease. This major prepares students who plan to pursue postgraduate study in health-related areas immediately upon graduation, including careers in medicine, dentistry, optometry, physician assistant and other medical careers.

Students with the goal of attending Medical School should visit UD's Pre-Med website for advising and admission information. There are two distinct pathways by which students can gain admission to a professional school. One is open to all majors and requires a basic knowledge of science and mathematics. Students taking this option are evaluated by the Health Professions Evaluation Committee (HPEC), which writes a University of Delaware recommendation to medical institutions of the student's choice.
