Courses to consider
If you’re considering a career in clinical patient care (medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, etc.), consider starting with courses in Biology and/or courses in Chemistry depending on your placement in those courses. These sequenced courses are prerequisites for many professional health programs.
Visit our Pre-Health Advising page on Coursework for more on program prerequisites.
If you’re considering a career in health, but not sure exactly what or where, consider courses in Health Studies or Health Elective courses.
UW Seattle courses require cross-campus enrollment.
