Penn State Hershey
Admissions

Students admitted to the College of Medicine commit themselves to a lifelong process of self-education. They should be prepared for a challenging medical curriculum and the demands of a rapidly changing health care environment. The development of scholarly motivation, independence, and creativity is vital to professional medical competence. Gaining an understanding of people, their societies, and their history is considered an invaluable asset for the practice of medicine. Consequently, a liberal education in humanities and the arts, as well as in the sciences, at a superior level of performance, provides the best pre-professional preparation. The applicant should have demonstrated competence and concentrated study in a discipline or field of special interest. Laboratory exercises are important in all sciences, library skills are essential, and students are expected to have basic computer skills.
