Why study Pre-Health Professions?

This is a one-year, non-degree program for students who are interested in applying to the following programs: Dental Hygiene, Medical Assisting (Certificate), Nursing, and Radiologic Technology. Students in the Pre-Health Professions program may take no more than 30 semester hours as they prepare to meet selective admission criteria for their desired program. Once they have reached this limit, they must apply to the above programs, change to a degree-granting program, or become non-matriculated students. Students within the Pre-Health Professions program must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.5. If a student's GPA falls below the 2.5 minimum, then they will be required to meet with a professional advisor and complete a college workshop regarding their selected major. If the student's GPA remains below the 2.5 minimum for two semesters then the student will be required to change his or her major. 

The Dental Hygiene, Medical Assisting, Nursing and Radiologic Technology programs use a selective admission process so Pre-Health Professions students must apply to one of these programs online during the deadlines specified by the program. Only students who meet selective program admission criteria will be permitted to apply. See your academic advisor for details.

Students in this non-degree program will work best with a variety of learning styles and if they like to work with people.
