NMU Home Page Northern Michigan University provides non-degree, preprofessional programs of study. These programs have been developed to prepare students with specific professional goals to meet the admission qualifications of other colleges and universities.
Some professional schools require students to complete a baccalaureate degree prior to admission.
In some cases students may elect to enter one of Northern Michigan University's degree programs while still receiving advising toward one of the preprofessional programs. Information about each of the preprofessional programs can be obtained from the department listed as the administrative and advising department. Predental Students pursuing the predental program are assigned to the predental advisor who assists students in selecting the courses required or recommended for admission into dental school. Students must declare a major sometime during their freshman year. Although the choice of major is not restricted and students should choose a major that will interest them and provide a possible career for them, most predental students graduate with a bachelors degree in biology, biochemistry, or chemistry.
