Pre-med and Coordinate Majors

Colleges and Universities A-Z Tulane University

Hey guys, I understand this is a broad question that’s been asked before, but I was wondering if someone could shed some light on some more specific topics

  1. What specifically is it that makes Tulane so good for premed?
  2. Does Tulane’s medical school look more favorably towards it’s undergraduate students?
  3. How hard is it to take a coordinate major along with a major?
  4. On that note, is it a bad idea to do 1 major/ 2 coordinate majors as opposed to 2 majors? I’m really interested in the Cognitive Sciences and Computer Sciences for their coordinate majors and Neuroscience as my major
  5. Expanding further, what exactly is a coordinate major? Is it worth less than a major? Is there any real point to taking one?

Thank you SO MUCH. As a recipient of the DHS, Tulane has bumped to the very tippy-top of my list, and I need to seriously consider my pathway at Tulane.

Great question! My D is also a DHS recipient and, therefore, Tulane is rising quickly too. She is interested in majoring in Computer Science though so the coordinate major topic is taking a while to wrap our brains around. We are visiting in March for Destination Tulane and hope to get things cleared up. She is having a hard time finding anything to pair it with.
