<p>I was browsing the admissions requirements for various med schools and noticed that IU required Psychology, Sociology, and Statistics.</p>
<p>Applying</a> to the IU School of Medicine</p>
<p>Would they mean that one semester is required of each? Or do they require a full year of each? </p>
<p>I know that those courses are recommended, but does anyone know any other schools that REQUIRE them? I couldn't find any other med schools that required them.</p>
<p>Looks like 1 semester each especially since biochem is typically a one semester class and I doubt you need a full year’s worth of the other two.</p>
<p>It may be that these are relatively new requirements, since the MCAT is changing to incorporate the social sciences (it changes during my test cycle). Also, I would think that they only require one class each of those.</p>
<p>Ok, I found out that it only requires one semester of Psych and Soc each ([Premedical</a> Coursework - Health Professions and Prelaw Center - Indiana University - University Division](<a href=“http://www.hpplc.indiana.edu/medicine/med-cw.shtml]Premedical”>http://www.hpplc.indiana.edu/medicine/med-cw.shtml)). </p>
<p>I also figured out that a few other schools (U Nevada, U North Dakota, etc.) also require psychology and sociology courses (<a href=“http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/sites/dsa/files/handbooks/Medical%20School%20Requirements%20FINAL.pdf[/url]”>http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/sites/dsa/files/handbooks/Medical%20School%20Requirements%20FINAL.pdf</a>). </p>
<p>I couldn’t find any information about Statistics for IU, but I’d assume that it’s one semester.</p>
