As a non-CNS student, your major may not incorporate preprofessional science coursework. The Pre-Health Professions Certificate gives you a path for incorporating these classes into your degree – the best of both worlds. As part of the certificate, you will take the same chemistry, biology, math and physics courses as College of Natural Sciences students, ensuring you gain the math and science skills needed to succeed in your professional program. In addition, you will take the NSC seminars to build your professional competencies and portfolio.
Pathways for Non-CNS majors:
- Pre-Dentistry
- Pre-Medicine
- Pre-Occupational Therapy

- Pre-Pharmacy
- Pre-Physical Therapy
