Bachelor of Science in Public Health students who are interested in pursuing a professional degree in clinical medicine (dentistry, medicine, osteopathy, veterinary medicine) will follow the Pre-Clinical Professions track.

The preparatory courses for the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) and the professional schools are covered as a part of the Kent Core, public health Core, and general electives. The overall curriculum of this Pre-Clinical Professions track focuses on:
