Students interested in a preprofessional curriculum for medicine, dentistry, podiatry, optometry, or other health fields should refer to the preprofessional curriculum section in this bulletin. No specific major or degree program is required for preprofessional students. Students desiring a B.S. or B.A. biology degree should consult with the biology faculty and advisor to plan their course work. Most professional schools prefer students who will have completed a B.S. or B.A. degree before actually beginning the professional curriculum.
