The physics pre-med track meets the prerequisites for medical, dental, and veterinary programs while delivering comprehensive education in physical sciences. Students pursuing pre-med physics develop robust skills in mathematics, biology, and chemistry, while studying advanced topics like modern physics, biochemistry, mechanical physics, and quantum theory.
Whether your ambition involves investigating drug-resistant pathogens, pioneering oncology breakthroughs, or gaining admission to top-tier medical, veterinary, or dental institutions, Florida Tech's physics pre-med program can help you achieve your aspirations. The curriculum starts with foundational classes like Biological Discovery and Calculus-Based Physics before progressing to specialized technical electives and laboratory work.
Florida Tech emphasizes hands-on research as vital to student development and academic comprehension. Our physics pre-med students engage in research projects from their freshman year, often collaborating with faculty on cutting-edge studies and presenting findings at national symposiums. The Physics and Space Sciences Department operates from the F.W. Olin Physical Sciences Center, featuring state-of-the-art teaching labs, research facilities, specialized rooms, and an astronomical observatory. Additional resources include access to Kennedy Space Center's Space Life Sciences Lab.
