@Spartan2020 - There is no pre-med major at MSU, as is pretty typical. You can take the MCAT and apply for medical school from a number of different majors, like biochemistry, biological science, biosystems engineering, etc. My brother-in-law is an anesthesiologist and majored in mechanical engineering at Kansas.

Overall, you have to take the classes required to apply for Med School and succeed on the MCAT.

Lyman Briggs is a residential college that focuses on science and humanities. It offers several majors that are popular with students interested in Med School, and is very popular with students interested in medical careers.
