About
The Pre-Health Programs Office helps students navigate the academic and extracurricular expectations for health professional school application, while also providing them with the resources to determine their best career path.
We help our students understand how to be competitive applicants for health professional programs by guiding them through the academic and extracurricular expectations, the necessary application components, and the application timeline.
Our office will help students identify resources that will assist them in exploring various opportunities in the healthcare field. We recommend meeting regularly with the Pre-Health Academic Program Director or an advisor to help in developing an individualized path.
