PRE-PROFESSIONAL PURSUIT
understand what it takes to achieve your dreams
If you're pursuing a pre-medical, pre-pa, or pre-professional program, it is important to understand that there is no "pre-medical" major at any college or university. Instead, you select a major in any discipline and include the courses that medical schools require (such as Anatomy and Physiology) in your undergraduate studies.
WSU provides pre-professional curricula, pre-professional advising, and pre-professional research experiences designed to aid students in preparing for their future goals.
Weber State students are accepted into pre-medical schools, on average, 20% above the national average!
