Stay on track for professional school

Being a successful professional school applicant is a combination of what you do in and out of the classroom.

• For academics and practical experience, our Pre-Health Pathways pages will guide you through the required courses to take and recommend ways to gain clinical experience for various professional schools, depending on the medical pathway you're pursuing.
  
  • Science majors will take many of the required classes as GEs and/or part of their program requirements. 
  • If you aren’t a science major, you can work with your undergraduate advisor on incorporating the required classes into your schedule (many will be GE courses). 
• For the big picture, our 4-Year Plan page will provide ideas of what you can do while an undergraduate. 
  • Remember that your pathway into a health profession is yours and can be individualized based on your major, interests, and overall career goals.
