Pre-Professional Science Curriculum

Admission to professional schools is very competitive. Most programs expect applicants to have a four-year degree.  IU Southeast School of Natural Science Advisors can assist students in determining an appropriate Pre-Professional plan of study.  After meeting with a School of Natural Science Advisor, students are encouraged to contact the professional school(s) in which they plan to apply to verify prerequisite coursework.  School of Natural Science Advisors will help students prepare for the admission process and may also suggest alternate pathways to rewarding careers should the desired professional school application be unsuccessful.  Below is a list of Professional Programs for which prerequisite coursework can be completed at IU Southeast.
