Minor in Pre-Professional Health

Students who want to pursue a career in a medical profession must prepare themselves for admission to a professional school or graduate program in their area of interest. Students are not required to complete a science-oriented degree, but they must have completed certain pre-requisite courses for admission to these programs. The purpose of this minor is to provide the background that a non-science major must have to complete a successful application to medical school or other professional programs in dentistry, optometry, physician associate, pharmacy, and other health programs.

Students pursuing a degree in biomedical sciences or chemistry (pre-health concentration) may not declare the pre-professional health minor.

A minimum of 39-40 credits are required for this minor.
