<p>Colleges usually don't offer "pre-med" degrees - you are pre-med if you decide that you are and take the necessary undergraduate classes:
generally:
One year Biology w/lab
Two years Chemistry w/labs (inorganic and organic)
One year Physics w/lab
One year English</p>
<p>also recommened:
one - two semesters of Calculus
genetics
biochemistry</p>
<p>Major in anything you want as long as you get in the above classes.</p>
<p>Also pre-meds need to get clinical experience by shadowing doctors or working with patients.
Volunteering is encouraged (doesn't have to be in a hospital - as long as you are working with the public)
Research also encouraged (helping with research in a lab on campus or conducting your own). </p>
<p>and, of course, pre-meds are preparing to take the MCAT - usually in their junior year, spring. (if they want to be accepted to medical school right after they graduate from a 4 year school).</p>

Being a premed is not a major, or a program, or a special type of school. You go to college, major in whatever you like, and take a few extra courses. Then you apply to medical school.
