Pre-Professional Studies
|
|
Although many pre-professionals are science majors in the biological and physical sciences because of interest, a science major is not required. Students in any major may combine the minimum prerequisites (one year of biology, inorganic (general) chemistry, organic chemistry, physics and math through calculus) in the curriculum. However, students requesting a Pre-Professional Committee recommendation must adhere to the Major Requirements of each of the following pre-professional concentrations. Students in a pre-professional concentration should contact the Chair of the Biology Department, who is a member of the National Association of Advisors for the Health Professions. The Chair will act as a coadvisor to assist advisors from other disciplines and oversee coordinating the advising of students seeking admission to professional schools. Pre-professionals must have experienced some form of practical knowledge in their prospective professions before the second semester of their Junior year and prepare for the entrance exam required of all professional school applicants. Graduates of the Saint Francis University Pre-Professional studies program have successfully completed their graduate education in a wide range of professional concentrations within the biomedical sciences.
