Professional schools have requirements that range from a minimum of two years of undergraduate studies to four years and a bachelor's degree. Although common requirements exist within areas, sufficient differences exist that wise students will work closely with their advisor to be certain that all program and degree requirements are being met. At a minimum, allied health science programs will require a year of general biology, a year of general chemistry and a year of English composition. A second year of chemistry, additional biology, physics and college mathematics, as well as courses in social sciences and humanities are required in the health science areas. Although no specific undergraduate major is required by professional schools, students in our program will be encouraged to select a major and work towards a degree.
Most students elect a major from one of the biological or physical sciences.
Nursing and Medical Technology are included in this group of careers, but since professional education in these careers is available at UNC they are not listed in this program. For more information about these programs consult the index of this Catalog.
