General Information

You need to carefully plan and monitor your college career- especially if you plan to apply to medical or dental school. Marygrove College has a pre-medical/pre-dental advisor to assist you in your planning.

As a Marygrove student you will have opportunities to work closely with faculty members. This is important because their recommendations are part of the selection criteria used in the professional schools to which you will be applying.

The medical and dental schools in the United States recognize the desirability of a broad education. Therefore, it is suggested that you have some background in social sciences and humanities, as well as strong communication skills. Naturally, a solid foundation in the basic natural sciences is required.

While admissions’ requirements vary, generally the required sequence of core science and mathematics courses include:

• One year of biology with lab
• One year of physics with lab
• One year of general chemistry with lab
• One year of organic chemistry with lab
• Mathematics through one semester of calculus

You may choose any major offered at Marygrove. However, if you major in biology you will be better prepared for the requirements of medical and dental schools.

In addition to college course work, you will need to prepare to take the Medical College Aptitude Test (MCAT).

General Information

Attorneys have a variety of academic backgrounds-economics, English, history, philosophy and political science. Law schools do not designate a major program concentration as a prerequisite for admission. Law schools admit students who are broadly trained and who evidence analytical skills, good writing and oral communication abilities, as well as social awareness.

You can, therefore, prepare for law school by fulfilling the general education requirements at Marygrove College, and choosing from a variety of majors and minors.

Your academic major can help prepare you for law school. It can also provide you with training for an alternative career should you choose not to enter law school immediately after graduating from Marygrove College.

A pre-law counselor is available at Marygrove to assist you in planning your education and identifying professional opportunities. The counselor keeps abreast of trends in legal education and can assist you with law school application procedures, options for financial assistance‚ information on The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) and career planning.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of Pharmacy Technicians is expected to increase by 

32 percent from 2006-2016, which is much faster than the average for all occupations.

Marygrove College offers a one year, credit certificate that prepares students to become Pharmacy Technicians. This is a three consecutive semester program that begins in September and ends in August. Students who complete the program and pass the Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam will be qualified to work in pharmacies across Michigan as licensed Pharmacy Technicians.

About Me:

Welcome, my name is Professor Boron. I’ve been teaching at Marygrove College since 2002 and prior to Marygrove, I taught at Wayne State University for fourteen years. All of my part-time teaching has been in the area of Computer Information Systems. I worked at Chrysler Corporation for thirty-two years, where I was in the Management Information Technology area, and am now retired from industry. I have a Master’s Degree in Computer Science from the University of Detroit and an MBA from Central Michigan University.

I’m married and have two daughters. My wife of forty-eight years attended Schoolcraft College for two years and then went on to Eastern Michigan where she earned her undergraduate teaching and Master’s degree. After thirty-two years of public school teaching and one year of college teaching she is retired.

Both of my daughters graduated from the University of Michigan-Dearborn and are gainfully employed. My oldest daughter teaches middle school and is an adjunct instructor for North Central Community College at Gaylord, Michigan. My youngest daughter is the President of Bellweather Consulting where her company is currently doing computer consulting business in France, China and South Korea.
