Pre-Medicine

"In health there is freedom. Health is the first of all liberties."

Henri Frederic Amiel, Swiss Philosopher, Poet, and Critic (1821-1881)

Why Pre-Medicine?

The Pre-Medicine program at Colorado Christian University is a pre-professional program designed to equip students with the skills and abilities needed to gain admittance into medical school and pursue a career in the medical field. You do not have to major in "Pre-Medicine" in order to attend medical school as long as the appropriate prerequisite courses are included in your undergraduate coursework. In fact, most students in CCU's Pre-Med program would select a degree in Biology or Science. We strongly recommend that if your desire is to gain admittance into any medical school, you are fully aware of the courses you are required to take during your undergraduate experience.

Pre-Medicine in the Christian University

CCU offers all of the science classes that are necessary to give pre-med students a strong foundation for success in medical school. In addition, CCU students are provided with ample opportunities to participate in missions and ministry experiences that give them a strong advantage when applying for medical school – not to mention a more holistic worldview and exposure to the Lord's creation.
