Advising

Aspiring physicians and dentists should choose a major that interests them to make their undergraduate education more rewarding and stimulating, as well as provide a potential “plan B” career path. Students will then satisfy the requirements of their major, as well as the prerequisite courses listed on the Admission Requirements page. Thus, students will have an academic advisor from their major department that they will meet with at least once a semester and who will be responsible for lifting their academic advising hold. Students will also be able to consult with a pre-professional advisor who can help determine optimal timing of coursework, testing, and application to medical or dental school, as well as suggest ways to improve their competitiveness for medical or dental school. Pre-medical and pre-dental students should contact the Pre-Medical & Pre-Dental Undergraduate Program to join the program and make an appointment for pre-professional advising.
