Physics - Premedical Physics, B.S.

Florida Institute of Technology

The pre-med program in physics fulfills the admission requirements for medical, dental, or veterinary school while providing in-depth training in the physical sciences. Premedical physics students build a strong foundation in mathematics, biology, and chemistry, and take specialized courses in modern physics, biochemistry, physical mechanics, and quantum mechanics.Whether you want to explore the mysteries of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, become a leader in cancer research, or enter a prestigious medical, veterinary, or dental school, you can reach toward your goal with a pre-med program in physics from Florida Tech. Students begin with courses such as Biological Discovery and Calculus-Based Physics, later specializing in technical electives and labs.At Florida Tech, we recognize the importance of experimental research to students’ growth and understanding of their curriculum. Our pre-med program in physics involves students in research beginning their first year. Many students work alongside their mentors doing professor-led research projects, presenting research results at national conferences. The Physics and Space Sciences Department is housed in the F.W. Olin Physical Sciences Center, which contains teaching and research laboratories, a clean room and dark room, a high bay area, and a rooftop observatory. Students also have access to the Space Life Sciences Lab facilities at Kennedy Space Center.
