According to recently released survey about MCAT2015 "No admissions officers say pre-meds’ course loads will become easier. Many pre-med programs have already revised their curricula or are in the process of doing so to ensure that students – particularly freshmen and sophomores – are prepared to tackle the exam’s new content come 2015.”

The Department of Biological Sciences at Oakwood University has already reviewed its curriculum to revamped it pre-med degree programs (Biology & Biomedical Sciences). The following are some of the major changes we have proposed and submitted to the Curriculum Committee on October 2, 2012 for approval: 1) Both Psychology & Sociology will be required for all biology majors, who will be taking MCAT in 2015 and thereafter, 2) Biostatistics is will offered as a pre-requisite to Undergrad Research and changed from (BI415) to Introductory Biostatistics (BI215), 3) a new course, Introduction to Cellular & Molecular Biology (BI235), and additional one hour lecture will be added to General Biology.
