If you want the best possible preparation for getting into medical school — and becoming a world-class physician — our Pre-Medicine program is a perfect place to start.
At Marquette, pre-medicine isn't technically a major. Rather, it's an intention that you plan to attend medical school. That means you'll choose a related major, such as biomedical sciences, biological sciences or physiological sciences, and we'll guide you along the way, making sure you're building a strong foundation for acceptance to med school. You’ll also be connected to a community of medical faculty and professionals who will help you discover potential career paths in the medical field.
And Marquette’s values-based curriculum means you’ll cultivate the tools you need to not only improve patients' health but also make their lives better.

Our graduates go on to a wide variety of prestigious medical schools. Here’s where some of our recent graduates landed.
While you’re here at Marquette, preparing you for what’s next will be one of our top priorities. So, expect lots of learning by doing, connecting with others who share your passions, and reflecting on how you can Be The Difference.
With support from our Center for Pre-health Advising and our pre-medical honor society, you’ll be able to actively explore medicine by volunteering at clinics and hospitals, and shadowing doctors in a variety of specialty fields.
And through our Medical College of Wisconsin's Center for the Study of Bioethics internship, you can work in a multidisciplinary environment — philosophical ethics, law, medicine, pastoral counseling — that explores the complex questions that accompany medical advances, especially with respect to beginning- and end-of-life issues.
If you’re interested in doing research as an undergrad, you’ll have plenty of chances to work with internationally respected researchers and their teams who are tackling some of society's most pressing medical problems.
Here are some of the things Marquette faculty and students are solving right now:
Become a people-centered leader guided by our Jesuit tradition.
