The Ball State University Pre-Professional Health Program provides the necessary foundation for successful careers in medicine, dentistry, or other health professions. The success of our system is evident in the high percentage of Ball State applicants accepted into medical and dental schools. Most universities only offer majors in Biology or Chemistry for those students planning careers in medicine or dentistry. This wider range of courses better prepares students for the requirements of medical and dental schools.
Health professions require a solid and varied background in the sciences.
Our personalized approach to science education is another asset of our pre-professional health program. It provides the perfect setting for undergraduate study in all of the sciences. Most students find that this personalized approach is crucial to the quality of their education. Unfortunately, many of the larger universities cannot offer this interaction. Undergraduates are encouraged to become involved with the research laboratories on campus.
