I am currently a Freshmen in Lyman Briggs and I highly recommend choosing Lyman Briggs! As Beaudreau already mentioned, there is no pre-med major at MSU, you just choose a major and make sure you take all of the classes that medical schools require you to complete before applying. A huge majority of students in Lyman Briggs are pre-med, but not everyone. Lyman Briggs’s human biology major is very popular for those who are pre-med and it prepares you really well for medical school.

Lyman Briggs offers smaller classes and so it is easier to get to know your professors which is helpful if you are pre-med since you will need recommendation letters.

Overall, I highly recommend Lyman Briggs to anyone who is interested in science. It is so helpful to be living in the same building that the majority of your classes are in, and living next to people who are in your classes.

I could talk a lot about Briggs but I would be typing for a long time, so if you have any specific questions about Briggs or anything pre-med or anything MSU, just ask away and I’ll try to answer!
