Murrow Med Certificate
What is it?
Our Murrow Med Certificate is awarded to students who are interested in careers related to medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, psychiatry, veterinary medicine or pure research and have excelled in their science courses. Students that are interested in receiving a Murrow Med Certificate must complete six years of science study at Murrow. Six years of Science totals to 12 credits in science. Within this six-year sequence, students must double –up on science by taking Living Environment, Chemistry & Physics, one year of Advanced Placement science, two semesters of Murrow Med electives, and one additional year that may be Earth Science, a second AP course or additional electives. Prior to graduation; Seniors and graduating Juniors MUST apply to receive the Murrow Med Certificate. This is done by filing a Murrow Med Certificate form with the science Department to verify completion of the above requirements. Students will be eligible for special awards at graduation. Please note that no JHS courses are accepted.
