Pre-Med Planning Guide
Pre-Med at Miami Ad School-Atlanta
Atlanta, GA
Miami Ad School-Atlanta focuses on arts and design education, lacking dedicated health science programs. Pre-med students should plan to complete prerequisite science courses elsewhere before applying to medical schools. The school’s small size and specialized curriculum mean prospective pre-med students should consider additional coursework at community colleges or universities.
While Miami Ad School-Atlanta does not offer traditional pre-med degrees, students interested in medicine typically transfer to four-year institutions after completing foundational coursework.
