What major is recommended for students who want to go to medical school or law school in the future?
Students that intend to apply to a professional school are not required to pursue a specific major. Entrance standards to a particular professional school (e.g. UW-Madison’s School of Medicine) can vary from one university to another. It is the student’s responsibility to research the school and its program requirements. However there are undergraduate degrees typical of students that apply to medical school and law school. A major in the field of biology is common for students looking to apply to medical school. Undergraduates that wish to go on to law school pursue a large selection of majors in Arts & Communications, Business & Economics, and Letters & Sciences (less commonly from the School of Education).
