Chemistry Major/Pre-Medical Emphasis

Major requirements total 58 hours. This includes 32 hours in the Chemistry core, 18 hours of Biology, and 8 hours of Physics.

Note to Pre-Medical Students:

Biology/Pre-Med or Chemistry/Pre-Med majors automatically become members of The Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity, which serves as a national focus for evangelical approaches to issues in medicine, nursing, and other health care professions. In collaboration with the Christian Medical and Dental Society and other organizations, the center organizes conferences that students may attend for credit, as well as facilitating involvement in public and professional discussion of Christian values in health care. Members receive the international journal Ethics and Medicine, the center’s newsletter, and access to resources. This provides our students with an opportunity to prepare for a career in medicine from a distinctively Christian perspective. Also associated with the center are Trinity’s graduate programs in bioethics, the only such opportunities offered in any evangelical school.
