<p>I was wondering, does MSU have a good pre-med program, what i mean is, are there a lot of students entering medical schools from MSU? I havent heard much about MSU's biology program, but i was just wondering if it would be worth looking at.</p>
<p>MSU has very good pre-med programs. Biology is strong with extensive facilities. MSU’s pioneering botany & plant sciences are among the oldest and best in the nation; the U.S. Dept. of energy sponsor's a national plant sciences research lab at MSU, which should tell you something. Other biology programs are very strong too.. One of the most intense, small-school programs is the Lyman Briggs School of Science, a so-called "residential college" because the whole college, about 1,200 undergrads, is attached to a residence hall where all the facilities, (labs, classrooms & faculty offices) are in one place. A large percentage of students in LBS go to medical school -- it's a very intense program.</p>
<p>to go to LBS though, is it an undergrad school you apply to? I applied as a biology major, does that mean this would be the school I would be attending?</p>
<p>see, when I applied to MSU, i didnt see anything about Lymann Briggs school or science, so i was wondering, If i got accepted as a biology major, does that automaticlaly translate into LB? if not, how do i tranfter there?</p>
<p>From what I hear, MSU has a lot of resources available for pre-meds. you just have to go seek it. unlike smaller, more competitive schools, opportunities aren't just gonna come to you.</p>
<p>They have a PA program where even freshman can start research and gaining experience; a stipend comes with that too. Overall, i'd say that MSU is pretty strong at pre-med</p>
<p>out of curiosity, which school would be stronger at pre-med, Loyola university of chicago (pre-med program) , or MSU (Lyman Briggs)?</p>
<p>Maxmillian, I'm not quite sure of your question. But just so you know, when you apply to MSU you merely designate your interest in Lyman Briggs College as the place where you want to major. But within Briggs, a residential college, you can specialize in different programs, like biology, which you could also do through MSU's College of Natural Sciences (CNS)... While CNS programs are uniformly excellent, Briggs offers you the intimacy, faculty 1-on-1 attention and intensity of a small liberal arts college... Anyway, below is the LBS link in which you should find the link for biology... hope this helps.</p>

<p>thank you so much for the help</p>
