Pre-Health Professions

An advising program that begins their first week on campus.

Ursinus students interested in becoming a health professional—be it a physician, a dentist, a veterinarian, a therapist, a nurse, or a physician assistant—benefit from an advising program that begins their first week on campus. Early in their careers, students are guided through selecting the right courses, finding the right hands-on experiences, and developing the right skills and resources.

As students prepare their applications, they work closely with their own advisor from the Health Professions Advising Committee, who provides support, feedback, and ultimately a recommendation for students—an increasingly rare benefit to health professions applicants.

a broad liberal arts education produces the best health professionals

We believe that a broad liberal arts education produces the best health professionals—and our graduates, their patients, and the professional schools themselves agree. Therefore, we don’t have a “Pre-Med” major. Further, while many students interested in these professions often major in Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology ,Health Sciences or Neuroscience you can major in whatever you want and still successfully pursue a health career.
