<p>Dartmouth seems to have a lot of requirements. If I get in, I will probably declare myself a biological sciences at the end of my sophomore year. I also plan on attending medical school and I will need to take the pre-med courses. In addition, I would like to take some business courses, so I will know how to be successful as a doctor. With all of the requirements, plus dealing with a major, will I have enough time to get in the pre-med or business courses? I feel like there may be too many requirements at Dartmouth. How does this work out once you attend the school?</p>
<p>It’s all very manageable and you could easily accomplish all those things (well minus the business courses… we don’t offer those 
However, econ courses would serve the same function, lol) As an added plus the pre-med and Bio major requirements largely overlap</p>
<p>I would probably do a concentration in Ecology and would want to study abroad. Am I asking for too much? Also, I thought we could take business courses at Tuck. Maybe I should wait and see if I get in. I already signed the ED agreement, so no turning back.</p>
<p>Currently you can take 3 courses at tuck: accounting, management and business strategy, and marketing. As for the requirements for a degree, they’re far from burdensome at all. To fulfill the nonmajor requirements, you could take as few as 10 courses. And you have to take 35 to graduate. These 10 courses also don’t count the science courses you’ll take as a bio major that fulfill some of these requirements.</p>
<p>That actually sounds pretty good. Are the requirements also easy to fulfill if I chose to study abroad more than once?</p>
<p>Perhaps you should look into the study abroad programs. Not all of them are language-focused, and you might find one that would cover some of your additional requirements. </p>
<p>I’m not at expert in pre-med requirements, but aren’t there only about 8 or 9 courses? I can’t see how it would be THAT difficult to fit them in over 4 years and 30 courses. (The number of courses you would have on the D campus if you studied abroad for 2 terms.)</p>
<p>Maybe since I’m still in high school I don’t completely understand all of the requirements and how they each are implemented into your schedule, but most people seem to think of the requirements, and what I hope to achieve as no big deal. That’s good enough for me.</p>
<p>the bio fsp goes to costa rica and focus mainly on courses in the ecology concentration, if i remember correctly. </p>
<p>[Bio</a> FSP](<a href=“http://www.dartmouth.edu/~biofsp/]Bio”>http://www.dartmouth.edu/~biofsp/)</p>
<p>you can definitely be premed and study abroad, and still be fine. don’t worry about it. if people can have 2 majors and a minor, 3 majors in some extreme cases, and still get their distribs out of the way, you have nothing to worry about.</p>
<p>and some of your premed classes will probably overlap if you’re looking to study biology…you can’t just take ecology classes i don’t think
though i could be wrong … look here</p>
<p>[Biological</a> Sciences](<a href=“This page has moved”>This page has moved)</p>
<p>i didn’t read it, but if you’re interested … you should.</p>
<p>Yeah, you’re right. I need to take the requirements in the biological sciences major, then I may choose my curriculum based on a concentration in ecology. The FSP seems really interesting and actually is something I was looking for in college. I have done research in laboratories, but I really wanted the opportunity to get into the field in a tropical location. Thanks for the link.</p>
