FSU or UCF for Premed undergrad

<p>I would suggest instead of a BSN your d go for another major and hone her academic skills in the sciences. She’ll have to master [several</a> difficult courses](<a href=“Florida State University College of Medicine | College of Medicine”>Florida State University College of Medicine | College of Medicine) to be competitive for admission. Some RNs do certainly return to school to earn an MD, but this seems the long way around. </p>

<p>Personally, I think virtually any arts and sciences degree works, especially where she could qualify for [PBK</a> membership.](<a href=“http://pbk.fsu.edu/election/election.html]PBK”>http://pbk.fsu.edu/election/election.html)

Be completing requirements for a major in liberal subjects and studies. “Liberal subjects and studies” are those designated principally for knowledge or understanding, or appreciation of nature and society, as contrasted with training intended to develop skill or vocational techniques. At Florida State, all major programs in the colleges of Arts and Sciences and Social Sciences, and the Art History department, are considered to be liberal in nature.

<p>However, I know of at least one engineering major who decided on a career in medicine. There is no set path as far as I can see, but science majors tend to be accepted in significant numbers to med school.</p>
