Pre-Health is not a major…<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We define Pre-Health as a process – it’s a pathway you can follow to enter a professional health field. The pathway includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Choosing a major…<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can major in anything along the way towards a career in health and healthcare. Health professional schools don’t consider an applicant’s major in the admission process. There are specific requirements that each graduate and professional school may look for, and these are covered in the Coursework<\/a> section as well as the Apply<\/a> section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind that choosing a career in health is not one decision but a series of decisions based on exploration, investigation, and reflection. You should continually assess your academic readiness, motivation, and skills. Getting involved in healthcare<\/a> (volunteering and shadowing) and community service are essential elements to exploring what the profession is about, and this experiential learning will help you determine what kind of health career might be a good match for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
