Prerequisite course comparison

Many of our pre-professional health programs share some common prerequisite courses. That means you have the ability to keep your options open while you continue to explore your options and interests.

Clinical experiences and other co-curricular opportunities

When you’re applying to graduate schools it will be important to demonstrate your experience and understanding. We offer opportunities to build that experience in clinical settings and to build community in meaningful service and volunteer activities.
