The Advising Model: Support Tailored to You

To better serve our growing community, we've introduced a new advising system to guide you through the Pre-Health pathway:

  • Pre-Requisite Advising (Foundational Support):
    • Work with your assigned advisor for all pre-requisite planning and general Pre-Health questions.
    • Attend one of our "Anatomy of a Pre-Health Student" workshops this fall! These workshops, led by a Pre-Health advisor, are designed to provide you with information about next steps.
  • Pre-Health Advising (Advanced Strategy):
    • Once you have completed Module 1 & 2 on Brightspace, and successfully completed General Chemistry I, you will unlock access to specialized appointments for advanced application strategy and professional school preparation.
