One of our core Benedictine values is seeking counsel. Don’t be afraid to talk with our professionals in Academic Advising and XPD (the Office of Experience and Professional Development).

Keep your options open

Many of our pre-professional programs include common prerequisites. If you’re still choosing your path, work with your advisor to map out your courses and give yourself flexibility while you decide.
