Prospective Students
Supporting Nontraditional Students to Pursue Their Passion as Health Professionals
Whether you are embarking on a career change, returning to a long-standing goal, or resuming a journey interrupted by life’s complexities, we are here to support you. Our program offers rigorous coursework and comprehensive pre-health advising within a warm, supportive community.
We offer two enrollment options:
Students in our program receive:
- Personalized advising on academic preparation, extracurricular experiences, and application strategy
- Honest, caring, individualized feedback on the strengths and areas for growth within each student’s professional school application
- Guidance and support when navigating setbacks or challenges along the pre-health path
- Access to workshops, special events, and peer mentors within a collaborative post-baccalaureate community
- Individual coaching on personal statements and other written application materials
- Comprehensive preparation for professional school interviews
Our structured Post-Baccalaureate Health Professions Program features a cohort experience, dedicated tutors and mentors, and rigorous full-time academics. This accelerated, one-year program has a summer start date and a competitive application process that runs from mid-August through the end of January each year. Competitive applicants typically have a strong academic history as well as solid histories of both clinical experience and non-clinical interpersonal jobs or volunteer roles that have informed their decision to pursue a clinical career.
Our Individually Designed Post-Baccalaureate Studies enrollment option allows students to complete their pre-health coursework on a timeline that fits their personal needs while gaining access to our outstanding pre-health advising services. The application process is quick, easy, and non-competitive, but applicants are required to meet minimum eligibility requirements.ÌýIncoming students can start in summer, fall, or spring terms. This option is recommended for students who would like to continue to work while completing their prerequisites and/or whose academic plans vary from that offered in the structured program. With this option, course registration for main campus courses is on a space-available basis.
