Our strong pre-health program provides excellent preparation for professional study and careers in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, nursing, physical therapy, and other health-science fields.
Most pre-health students choose to major in biology or biochemistry, gaining both breadth and depth of experience in the biomedical sciences. See the links at left for specific programs and courses to prepare for the health-science career you're interested in.
Faculty pre-health advisors (see below) and a student Pre-Health Organization are additional resources that can strengthen your preparation for professional study in the health sciences.
