There is no such thing as a premed major or degree. You can major in whatever you like (it doesn't even have to be a science, really), and there is a set of premed prerequisite courses that you take.

Roughly speaking, the premed courses are 1 year of the following (with labs): biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, and physics. Some schools require math, english, biochem, etc. but those are the main courses. There is no possible way that UofT does not offer these courses.

Edit: This website (their premed page by the health professions advising office) was 2 clicks away from the main website you posted: http://cns.utexas.edu/hpo/pre_medical.asp Start here.

Pre med is a standard sequence of about 12 subjects and can be done in nearly any program or degree - even at a CC. Have a talk to your councilor at CC to plan out a program.

Hey! I currently attend UT and I love it! Here is a pre-med timeline off of the website.

It gives you the details on what classes are acceptable and how long it should take you. Also, check with the med schools you are planning to attend after your undergrad because they may have some prerequisites of their own. Good luck!
