Undergraduate Studies Preparation for a Career Medicine and Other Health Professions Johns Hopkins graduates are well prepared for careers in the health professions. There is no specific premedical major at Johns Hopkins.
Medical schools value a broad undergraduate experience.
Area majors in humanistic studies, social and behavioral sciences, or natural sciences are popular because their flexibility allows students to take courses across the curriculum. Premedical students are able to pursue their research interests on the Homewood campus and also at the Johns Hopkins University Medical Institutions. Many find that the tutorials at the Johns Hopkins Medical School offered to sophomores, juniors, and seniors give them a better understanding of the medical profession. The Office of Preprofessional Advising, a subdivision of the Office of Academic Advising, assists students interested in allopathic medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, podiatric medicine, osteopathic medicine, public health, and other health professions. Through this office, students receive academic advising and the support of the Health Professions Committee, which serves as a resource during the application process to medical and other health professions schools.
