Request a review to create an approved course list
As you can imagine, with the volume of applications we receive,
we are no longer able to create new or updated approved course lists for applicants entering the initial stage of our admissions process.
Instead, we ask that prospective students use their best professional judgment to determine whether completed, in-progress, and planned coursework meets our academic prerequisite requirements. In order to assist you, we have provided detailed information in Academic prerequisites to help you determine what courses are acceptable in meeting our requirements.
Please keep in mind that our academic prerequisites are fairly easy to determine. For the most part, we align our requirements with a pre-med/health track. It's not our intent to require obscure or unique courses to fulfill our requirements. When submitting your application, you should make your best professional judgment in completing the UCSF Supplemental Application (which asks you to list courses that fulfill our requirements). We will conduct a complete academic review of those individuals who are admitted into the program. At that time we will determine whether specific courses satisfy our requirements.
