Biology and chemistry are the most frequently chosen majors at Oakwood for students preparing for a career in medicine. However, students from every academic major are accepted into medical school. Diversity is actually encouraged by many medical schools which have come to realize that students who pursue majors in art, literature, mathematics, engineering, psychology, and other areas of liberal arts study tend to become well-rounded, and highly competent physicians. To prepare for the medical school admission test (MCAT), students must take general biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, psychology, and sociology. Most medical schools also require one calculus course.
