Pre-Medical Program

Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

The Pre-Medical Program is administered by the Pre-Professional Health Advisor. This program will likely attract pre-med students (allopathic, osteopathic, dental, veterinary, podiatry, optometry), but is an excellent preparation for PA, PT and Chiropractic Medicine. “Pre-Medical” is intended to mean health professions, not strictly pre-doctor. Any student who does not prefer this program, or cannot meet the requirements, can pursue a health career without this program. This can be added to any major, but it is not a stand-alone program. Students must have at least one institutionally defined major in addition to this program.

Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.2 and a C- or better in all Concentration courses.
