Pre-Professional Programs
Although degrees are not conferred in pre-professional areas such as pre-medicine or pre-dentistry, programs of study are available that prepare students to enter other institutions where they can complete their professional training. Some of the programs call for the student to complete a four-year sequence in a major; others call for the student to complete a two- or three-year sequence of study. Since requirements vary according to the student's needs, it is important that students declare their intentions to pursue specialized study so that they may receive proper advisement. Pre-professional areas and the departments responsible for advising are listed below:
