Note: The first term for admission into this program is Winter 2024.
The concentration in Pre-Health accommodates the growing number of majors interested in pursuing professional health programs. Similar to such concentrations in other departments such as Biology and Psychology, the curriculum allows students to focus their curriculum in a way that ensures that the required courses for admission into professional programs in health are ones that are incorporated into their major requirements. This concentration will also provide a foundation for the creation of future combined programs with our colleagues in speech language pathology and occupational therapy.
