Rather than studying traditional pre-med subjects like biology or biochemistry, some students major in other disciplines, including those in the humanities.

Some students at Penn choose to major in other disciplines while still pursuing pre-med as an option. Although less common, these paths do not preclude admission to medical school as long as students fill the requirements outside of their major. In fact, on Penn’s Career Services website, it says, “medical schools do not require or even prefer a particular major.”
