<p>can any one please give me some info on pre med. it seems as if the school is not a big science school rather eng/social sciences and things of that sort. any info on pre med would be greatly appreciated</p>
<p>Fordham has a very strong Pre Med and pre health studies program. It has a long history of preparing students for medical, dental and health science professional schools. It is wrong to assume that Fordham is not strong in the science department. Many Fordham graduates indeed apply and are accepted to prestigious Medical Schools around the nation, and notably in New York. Its a very rigorous program of study not for the meek hearted. Even for those students not technically in Pre Med, they have a very strong Biology program and very strong Chemistry program. Fordham is an excellent science school, being next door to the New York Botanical Gardens and Bronx Zoo, as well as owning its own Biological Research Station off campus. </p>
<p>Its faculty is top notch, I might add with faculty PhD's from Connecticut, MIT, Rutgers, Fordham, Boston College, Stony Brook, Cornell, Novosibirsk (Russia), Purdue, Cal-Irvine, Yale, Penn State, Notre Dame, Indian Institute of Science (India), Maryland, Michigan State, Virginia Tech, Harvard (Medical School), Durham (Great Britain). At least 4 faculty members earned their PhD in Chemistry or Biology at Fordham. Fordham is a major research university as well.</p>
<p>It is an outstanding school to prepare for medical school.</p>
