The Pre-health Program in the Dean of Studies office strives to guide students and alumni each step of the way as they explore, prepare, and pursue a career in the health professions. Through individual advising, group advising and workshops, as well as collaboration with faculty and staff around campus, the pre-health program provides students with a rich array of academic and advising resources and support throughout the year. The goal is for each student to feel connected, integrated and supported by our pre-health community of students, faculty, and staff.
