Academic Preparation
近50%申请沃伦威尔逊学院的学生打算从事健康领域的职业。In particular, our students express interest in:
- medical school

- physical therapy programs
Our nationally-recognized natural sciences curriculum prepares you for the rigors of the next step.
All natural science majors complete original research, and our small general science courses give you the support you need to achieve your academic goals.
Small Class Sizes (Even in the Sciences)
Consider our general biology sequence. The lecture component of the course is taught by a faculty member with a terminal degree (no TA’s here), and the course consists of approximately 25 students. These students then meet in the lab, taught by thesamefaculty member to ensure quality and curricular cohesion. Peer-to-peer tutoring is provided to further ensure academic success.
This commitment to small class sizes, access to faculty, and academic support extends throughout your pre-health requirements.
So when the times comes for a letter of reference, you’ll have long-standing and close relationships with faculty who can speak directly to your strengths and research accomplishments.

Engaged Learning
Warren Wilson pre-med students are passionate about health issues, and we engage that passion inside and outside the classroom. It’s why we bring speakers like Dr. Alan Lockwood to campus. Dr. Lockwood, an active member of Physicians for Social Responsibility, spoke to Warren Wilson students about humans strong dependence on the earth’s ecosystems and how climate change’s effects on these systems will cascade to our own health and well being. Following his talk, students joined Dr. Lockwood for dinner and a Q&A session. Guest lectures are one of the ways we’ll deepen your understanding and engage your interests from day one.
