Pre-Health Programs

Pre-Health Professions does not offer any degrees from its department. It instead works with other academic departments to make sure that the students meet the prerequisites for their next program. Some programs require a Bachelor's Degree and others do not. We have two tracks: one for students who require a degree and one for students who do not.

Degree Required Track
