There are other advanced science courses that you might consider in consultation with an advisor. We list below the qualities that health profession schools are seeking in their applicants. These qualities can be determined from a variety of sources, including the applicant's personal statement, answers given in secondary applications, letters of recommendation, and interviews. Our pre-health professional programs are not academic majors, and do not by themselves lead to a certificate, baccalaureate or graduate degree. However, these programs may be included as part of a recognized academic major.
