Pre-Health Science Programs

We Help You Build a Strong Foundation From the Start

If you plan to go on to graduate or professional school to pursue an advanced degree in the health sciences, you may think your choice of an undergraduate major might be limited. You may be surprised. There is no "right" major… only the "perfect major for you". Our pre-health advisors will help you choose an undergraduate major you’re passionate about and will excel in. This may or may not be in a health-related area.

(This is true for all pre-health programs EXCEPT for Carroll’s 3+3 DPT and 3+2 AT programs where students must choose from an approved list of majors).

Our pre-health advisors will work with you to ensure you take the appropriate prerequisite coursework necessary for admission to graduate/professional school regardless of choice of undergraduate major. Most undergraduate majors are compatible with a pre-health emphasis.
