The University of Miami Miller School of Medicine accepts students who have completed a minimum of 90 semester hours of college work, including the required courses shown in the following table.

All coursework must be taken in a college or university located in North America or Puerto Rico and approved by a national accrediting agency and listed in the current Education Directory of the US Office of Education. Except for study-abroad courses taken while attending a qualified institution, credits earned at foreign institutions are not accepted.

It is expected that the major portion of required science courses will be taken at the senior college level. An application that presents only a junior college academic record will not be considered. CLEP credits are not accepted. AP credits are accepted and can be used to satisfy requirements for English, biology, and inorganic chemistry, as long as the credits appear on a college transcript and are verified by AMCAS. The English requirement can also be met by literature courses, or by writing-intensive courses in any subject.
