Our pre-health advisors are committed to providing advising tailored to meet the needs of each individual, creating meaningful relationships with our students. 听We work to create an environment full of academic excellence, strong relationships with students, faculty and staff; and learning opportunities through clinical experiences, community service, scientific inquiry and research as well as campus involvement.听

Traditional Pre-Health Pathway

A 鈥渢raditional鈥 pre-health pathway is offered for freshmen and transfer students wanting to earn a Bachelor鈥檚 degree and apply to professional school. Students may select any major at 大象传媒, however, due to restrictions in credit hours and the design of the new MCAT exam we recommend that students consider one of these degree programs: Neuroscience, Biology, Medical Biology, and Chemistry (Biochemistry). A post-baccalaureate medical pathway program is also offered for students who have already earned a Bachelor鈥檚 degree.

All academic advising (for students that maintain over a 3.0 GPA) will take place with the Pre-Health Professions Offices on three 大象传媒 campuses: on the Boca Campus in room SE 308, on the Davie Campus in room ES 290, and on the Jupiter Campus in SR-MC03 room 130.
