Pre-Medicine, Pre-Veterinary, Pre-Dental, and Pre-Optometry

Admission requirements for the professional schools vary. Most of these programs require a broad liberal arts education with a strong background in the sciences. The individual faculty advisors and the preprofessional advisory committee work with all pre-professional students to develop programs that meet the requirements for entry to the professional school. Although these schools typically do not require a specific major, most students complete a major in biology to be best prepared for entrance exams as well as the intense professional school curriculum.
