Pre-Health Program Advisors

Students interested in pursuing a career in pre-health fields should contact the appropriate advisor early in their college education. Pre-health advisors will help you with questions regarding the application process for specific allied health professional programs. Pre-health advisors do not need to be the academic advisor for your major.
