In reply to What undergrad degree is recommended for psychiatr, posted by 3 Beer Effect on September 26, 2001, at 1:20:31
To get into med. school for any specialty- including psychiatry (you don't specialize until several years into the process) - you need a B.A. or B.S. with the pre-med requirements - this is what they were when I was in school, but it's been 5 years, so check to be sure. Also, there are some post-bac pre-med programs for people with bachelor's degrees who don't have the pre-med requirements.
you'll also have to take a VERY long test called the MCAT.
I think they're all two semesters each:
English
Biology
Chemistry
Organic Chemistry
Physics
Math
