Pre-Health Professional Focus

---

The Biology Department at WKU offers a wide range of pre-health professional tracks for students wishing to enter professional schools after graduation. Our advising faculty and staff keep up to date with admissions requirements and help students build course schedules to prepare them for admission to their schools of choice and entrance exams. 
The Biology Department also recommends that students join student organizations that provide additional counseling and professional development for their careers of choice. 

 

Because students should consider both their curricular and extracurricular choices as important to their preparation for their future career and personal goals, we provide information on course requirements as well as on issues such as gaining practical experience and taking advantage of special undergraduate study programs.

• The information in this website is not meant to take the place of meeting periodically with a health professions advisor.
• Every student should work with an advisor to develop and then continuously evaluate an individual academic program that will meet personal goals.
