Pre-Professional Plans of Study

Students major in a degree program and use these study guidelines to assist in their curriculum choices. Students are responsible for learning about the particular professional schools or professions they are interested in by taking opportunities to serve in a voluntary or employed capacity in their field of interest. They should consult with the appropriate advisory group or their academic advisor regularly.

Students interested in medical, dental, pharmacy, physical therapy, or veterinary careers should enroll in INTD 135 - Explorations of Careers in Medicine and the Biomedical Sciences in their first year.
