ANN ARBOR, Mich., Jan. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- For those of us who are out of loop, it may come as news that there is no set major for pre med. Instead, the students who aspire to go to medical school must pick an undergraduate major that will help them to prepare for their exams and fulfill all of the prerequisites for medical school.
Typically, the majors that are most appealing are the natural sciences. This includes chemistry, physics, and biology. Of course, majors in mathematics or engineering could meet their needs providing that they fill in those science blanks with some electives.
OnlineCollegePlan.com recently ranked the best colleges where students can complete a pre med appropriate major online in an article titled The Top 20 Best Pre Med Colleges. You can read it here:

The research editor focused primarily on the most popular majors within the natural sciences, and many of these can be completed entirely online. Some schools must be attended on a hybrid basis, and they are represented here also.
In order to be featured here, schools must have had a program that was at least partially online, be properly accredited, and operate as a nonprofit institution. Afterwards, the schools were scored according to their freshman retention and graduation rates.
