The pre-medical program is offered at many American colleges and Universities ; however, it is considered to be a "track" that follows a certain curriculum. Most pre-medical students major in the natural sciences, such as Biology , Chemistry , or Physics , though this is not a requirement. Approximately 25% of matriculants major in a field other than the natural and physical sciences.
