If you mean what kind of classes you’ll have to take in college, then you’ll have to take the requirements for your major for sure. To get into med school, you’ll also have to take a certain sequence of courses in biology, chemistry, physics and math. If you major in biology or chemistry, you’ll probably get most or all of those out of the way as part of the requirements for your major.

Most colleges have distribution requirements or a core. A core is a set of classes that every student must take. Distribution requirements just mean that you need to take a certain number of courses in subjects that are very unlike your major (e.g. literature classes for science majors, or vice versa). What these will be varies from school to school, and it includes foreign languages at probably something like half of selective colleges. A lot of schools let you out of this requirement if you get up to 3rd or 4th year of a single language in high school.

Most schools today require at least first-year foreign language proficiency for a Bachelor’s Degree. They usually require 2 years of high school, or 1 year of college foreign languages to satisfy that requirement.

Getting into medical school is very competitive. It does not, however, require that you major in a specific science, or set of sciences. You need only do really well in the classes that you do take, and do especially well in the science classes you take.

As for the foreign language, my college only requires it for a B.A. so if you want a major leading you to a degree in science NOT a bachelor of arts, then you wouldn’t need to take foreign language at all. Check with your school, they might be different. A second language would be useful, but it might not be mandatory with your major.

If you want to go to medical school, you don’t have to be a science major, just make sure you take these classes. Major in something you enjoy learning about. & best wishes to you!
