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

Many students who are thinking of going into medical school or another health related graduate school program choose a science major. However you can major in whatever you would like as long as you meet the prerequisites for your graduate program. Here is of prerequisites for each program and list of common majors La Sierra University students choose:
