Pre-Medical Core Retake Policy

BA/MD students are required to re-take any pre‐med science core classes (listed below) at UNM main campus. (This includes any course the student withdraws from or must re-take to improve their pre-med GPA.) The Program cannot provide academic support at a UNM branch campus but can provide support on the main campus. Pre‐med core retake courses taken at other institution(s) will not be accepted by the BA/MD Program.
