Pre-Medical Sciences Certificate
The Pre-Medical Sciences Certificate (PMDS) is designed for students interested in pursuing medicine who will earn a degree from Oklahoma State University outside of the typical pre-medical majors or who already have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university. This certificate enables students to complete the prerequisites for medical school or related healthcare professional schools, as well as to prepare for admissions exams such as the MCAT.

If there is a requirement for a specific program that is not part of the certificate, it is the student’s responsibility to discuss that with their advisor. It is also the student’s responsibility to research the programs they are interested in and stay up to date on their requirements. The Pre-Professional Health and Law Support Services office (see below) is incredibly helpful.
Pre-Professional Health & Law Support Services
The Pre-Professional Health & Law Support Services office provides resources for OSU students considering and planning for future professional careers in health or law related fields.
