A person must attend medical school and receive an MD or DO to become a pathologist in the U.S. There are a few medical schools with accelerated programs that allow students to receive both an undergraduate degree and a medical degree in less time and without as much of the stress of the usual medical school admissions process.Generally, a degree in chemistry or biology would have the most classes in common with prerequisites for medical school, but many undergraduate degrees would be acceptable. Engaging in undergraduate scientific research that involves pathology or pathogenesis would be helpful. A degree in microbiology would involve similar labor to a pathologist in terms of interpreting slides and understanding molecular disease process, but there is no experience with gross anatomy.
Undergraduate schools cannot offer medical degrees in any subject. A medical school, MD program, will have a specialty in Urology available.

Any school where the highest degree offered is an associate of arts (such as at community colleges) or a bachelor of science would be an undergraduate school. Graduate schools are those that offer more advanced degrees, such as masters programs (MA, MA) or doctorates (Ph.D).
Many medical schools prefer a Pre Medical BSc or a BSc with a major in biology. Contact about 5-6 medical schools and ask each to suggest 3-4 undergraduate degrees.
No. You can get your undergraduate from Brigham Young University and then transfer to a medical school, if you would like. Many from BYU apply to medical school at the University of Utah.
4 years of undergraduate school, 4 years of medical school, and 3 to 8 years of internship and residency, depending on the specialty selected. A few medical schools offer combined undergraduate and medical school programs that last 6 years rather than the customary 8 years.The minimum educational requirement for entry into medical school is 3 years of college; most applicants, however, have at least a bachelor's degree, and many have advanced degrees.
Yes you need to go to undergraduate school, then medical school, then residency.
You need 4 years of undergraduate school. Then you need to go to medical school. Then you do an internship.
You'd get an undergraduate degree, go to medical school, then get a physician's assistant license, do an internship, and get your medical license.
4 year of undergraduate studies (preferably in the sciences) 4 years of medical school 3 years of residency you will need to take the MCAT for admission to Medical School
You may have any undergraduate major from a regionally-accredited institution as long as you complete all pre-medical requirements and complete the MCAT, the admissions test for medical school.
