Pre-Health Advising

The information provided is designed to assist current Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÊ×Ò³ students, prospective Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÊ×Ò³ students, and alumni in learning about careers in the medical field and the necessary steps for admission to Dental, Medical, Pharmacy, Veterinary, or other professional schools.

Pre-Professional Health Advising is not directly linked to any particular major, but rather it is designed for students in any discipline or college. Pre-health students have unique advising needs due to the competitive nature of professional schools and the varying admission criteria. Pre-Professional Health Advising provides the following resources to help students to become competitive applicants:

  • Guidance on admission criteria
  • Application assistance
  • Access to current information
  • Sequencing of courses
  • Long term planning
  • Guidance on co-curricular activities

These additional wrap-around advising services cannot substitute for the necessary and often required advising provided by a student's assigned college or faculty adviser.

Your education here at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÊ×Ò³ provides the foundation for your continued pursuit of professional school and is committed to helping you become a competitive applicant. We hope the information on this site and the resources provided by our office will enhance your Akron Experience as you prepare for professional school.
