ACADEMIC ORGANIZATION AND DEGREES 63
dentistry, engineering, law, medicine,
pharmacy, or veterinary medicine. HardinSimmons
University offers an ample
number of academic foundation courses
required for admission to professional
schools.
Professional schools maintain rigid
admission policies, and admission to
these institutions is highly competitive.
Qualified Hardin-Simmons University students
have been most successful in gaining
admission to these schools.
A student interested in these specialized
fields, in consultation with the appropriate
advisor, should become
- acquainted with the admissions requirements
of the school of his/her choice so
that a program may be planned to meet
those requirements.
The following pre-professional guidelines
are provided for those wishing to
complete liberal arts requirements at Hardin-Simmons
University prior to their graduate
or professional study.
Pre-Engineering Requirements
Schools of engineering will accept all
work from Hardin-Simmons University
which is equivalent to courses in their
engineering curriculum. In general, a student
may attend Hardin-Simmons University
for two years and then transfer
approximately 50-60 hours into an engineering
curriculum. Each student will consult
with the pre-engineering advisor from
the beginning to plan a program that will fit
the particular engineering school and program
in which the student is interested.
The following is a general guide showing
work which may be transferred from
Hardin-Simmons University into an engineering
curriculum. The exact hours transferred
will depend upon the area of
engineering and school selected.

Requirements
Hardin-Simmons University has for
many years provided course work necessary
for preparing men and women for
careers in medicine and dentistry. HardinSimmons
University students perform
admirably in our nation's medical and
dental schools. Many pre-medical and
pre-dental students major in chemistry or
biology, although it is possible to major in
other areas. Each student is counseled
individually with regard to needs and
interests. The following outline of courses
is a typical requirement for students
applying to medical or dental schools.

Most pre-medical and pre-dental students
will complete at least 124 hours,
including the above courses, and obtain a
Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Arts
degree. Exceptional pre-medical and predental
students may elect to follow a
three-year degree plan consisting of at
least 94 hours at Hardin-Simmons University
plus the successful completion of the
first year in an accredited United States
medical or dental school. This program is
outlined earlier in this section of the
Bulletin.
Three Year Pre-Law Programs
Exceptional pre-law students may earn
either the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor
of Business Administration degree by
completing one of the programs outlined
below, the equivalent of three years' work
at Hardin-Simmons University and the first
year of a three-year program at an accredited
law school in the United States. The
dean of the law school must certify the
student's work in that school. Students
should be aware that not all law schools
will admit a student after three years'
work.
