Pre-Health Professions Studies Minor

Most health professions schools do not require a specific degree for admission. Instead, students are encouraged to select a major in an area that reflects their interests and aptitude, and then simultaneously complete prerequisite coursework for admission to their school(s) of choice. The Pre-Health Professions minor includes coursework that most health professions schools will expect applicants to have completed prior to admission. Requirements do vary between programs; therefore, students should be certain to check specific requirements at their schools of most interest.
