Your Path to Healthcare
Success Starts Here
The College of Arts & Sciences in partnership with the Department of Biological Sciences, at NDSU provides advising services to students enrolled in any major and alumni interested in applying to health-related professional schools.
Navigating Your Path
Pre-health students generally complete four years of undergraduate education to earn a baccalaureate degree followed by three to four years in a professional school. A plan of study to prepare students to be competitive applicants will be a challenging one! Pre-health advisors work with students to plan courses needed by professional programs of interest. It will be necessary for students to research admission requirements and recommended courses as well as extracurricular experiences and activities to become a competitive applicant.
Experience Matters
Professional program admission committees look for students who demonstrate not only academic ability but also motivation for their chosen field by engaging in extracurricular activities like shadowing, clubs and organizations, volunteering, community service, and more. These experiences are crucial as they provide evidence of your commitment, hands-on exposure, and a well-rounded understanding of the field, making you a more compelling and competitive applicant.
