The mission of the Pre-Health Professions Program (PHPP) is to prepare students to pursue further studies in professional schools for medicine, dentistry, podiatry, and veterinary medicine, as well as other programs such as physician assistant, medical technology, and radiological sciences. It also prepares students for entry into master’s level programs in occupational therapy, physical therapy, and midwifery. Students can also major in Health Promotion and Science.

The pre-health professions’ office assists students to prepare for these various health-related careers by providing information and assistance on requirements, the application process, open house, days, and other kinds of relevant information.
