MEDICAL SCHOOL

C. R. BARDEEN, DEAN

ADMISSION

It is understood that all applicants for admission to the Medical School
must have satisfied the general entrance requirements of the University,
either by satisfactory completion of certain prescribed work in some recog-
nized secondary school, including graduation therefrom, or by passing
entrance examinations. See Admission, page 33, for details.

Before being permitted to matriculate in the Medical School, candidates
are required to have satisfactorily completed at least two full years of col-
lege work, including the following:

1. English composition—6 credits. This subject is to be carried dur-
ing the freshman year at the rate of 3 credits per semester.

2. Foreign language—two years for a total of 14 to 16 credits. This
includes specifically: (a) a knowledge of elementary Latin, obtained by the
satisfactory completion of either two years of this language in high school
or one year in college; (b) a reading knowledge of either French or Ger-
man, as evidenced by the completion of the fourth semester of this lan-
guage at the University of Wisconsin with a satisfactory grade, or by a
certificate of reading knowledge from the appropriate department at this
University. If the candidate has had no high-school work in Latin, French,
or German, it will be necessary for him to carry 24 to 26 credits of foreign
language in college unless he can secure a reading knowledge of French or
German by private study.

38. Science—successful completion of laboratory courses in physics,
general and organic chemistry, biology, and vertebrate embryology. (Pro-
vision is made for studying this latter subject during the first year of the
medical course in the event that a student should be unable to meet this
requirement before matriculation in the Medical School.) In addition, stu-
dents are advised to take one semester of quantitative analysis and a course
in comparative anatomy before commencing their medical work. The re-
quired science studies are here briefly summarized; they or their equivalents
may be pursued either at the University of Wisconsin in the regular year
or the summer session, or in some other college.
