You might be asking, "What if I am interested in being a physician, dentist, veterinarian, or other healthcare profession?"

Engineering students interested in a health profession will pursue one of any of the majors offered by the College of Engineering and can still opt to follow a pre-health track (pre-health is not its own major).

While some majors have more overlap with coursework required for pre-health than others, it is important for you to select the engineering major best suited for your interests and strengths. By taking engineering common curriculum requirements, you will be making progress towards fulfilling prerequisite coursework for most health profession programs.

Pre-Health Resources

Engineering Advising can help you understand how pre-health courses may or may not overlap with the various majors within the College of Engineering and how to best integrate the pre-health coursework within the Engineering curriculum. Visit our pre-health website for more information, which includes our Engineering Pre-Health Guides, crafted for each Engineering major.
- Please note: the pre-health guides are from the 2023-2024 academic year. There will be new pre-health guides for 2024-2025 in the coming weeks.
The advisors in the Health Professions Advising Center can help you better understand the medical, dental, and other health professions standardized examination and admissions process and how to approach your undergraduate career in a way that best prepares you for a health professions program.
- HPAC is hosting virtual information sessions for all new pre-health first-year students this summer:
  - Monday, July 16 6-7pm ET: Register Here
  - Wednesday, July 18 12-1pm ET: Register Here
- HPAC is also hosting an in-person pre-health first-year student meeting on Monday, August 26th at 5pm. More information can be found on the HPAC Website closer to the event.

The Pre-Health Academic Preparation website helps students navigate the process of selecting appropriate courses and gives advice related to the many decisions to be made prior to applying to medical/dental school.

Pre-Health Information Session for First-Year Engineering Students

A pre-health information session will be offered in early fall semester for first-year engineering students to learn more about this exciting track!
