Pre-Health (Dentistry, Medicine, Pharmacy, etc.)
While a major in Biology, Biomedical Science, Biochemistry, Chemistry or Physics present advantages for students interested in health-related professions, majors in other fields are equally acceptable, contingent upon the student completing the necessary prerequisites. Students interested in preparing for one of these fields should acquaint themselves with the requirements of the school to which they will seek admission. Each student should, in consultation with an appropriate pre-professional advisor, arrange a course of study which will fulfill the professional school admission requirements while working for a degree. Generally, such requirements include courses in Principles of Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology, Principles of Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Physics.
