Does NC State have a medical program?

I'm looking into colleges and I've been considering North Carolina State University. Does anyone know if they have a medical program or something similar? I'd love to hear more about their programs related to medicine.

North Carolina State University (NC State) does not have a direct medical program leading to an MD degree. However, they do offer a variety of undergraduate degree programs related to medicine and healthcare that can prepare you for medical school or other health professions.

Some popular undergraduate majors in medicine-related fields at NC State include:

1. Biological Sciences (with concentrations in Integrative Physiology and Neurobiology, Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, or Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation Biology)

2. Microbiology

3. Biochemistry

4. Nutrition Science

5. Biomedical Engineering (a popular choice for pre-med students interested in the intersection of medicine and engineering)

Completing one of these majors, or another related major, will position you well for applying to medical schools after graduating from NC State. As a pre-med student, you will need to complete a specified set of prerequisite courses (usually including biology, chemistry, physics, and math) to meet medical school application requirements. You should also focus on gaining meaningful experiences in healthcare, research, and other extracurricular activities to build a competitive med school application.

NC State does collaborate with UNC-Chapel Hill for some joint programs, and UNC-Chapel Hill has a top-tier medical school. This could potentially provide you with opportunities for research, internships, or other experiences if you choose to attend NC State for your undergraduate studies.

While NC State doesn't have a medical school itself, you can definitely prepare for a medical career by choosing a relevant major, completing prerequisite courses, and engaging in extracurriculars that demonstrate your interest in the field of medicine.
