Pre-Health Advisory Program Committee

The Office of Undergraduate Academics (OUA) works closely with students who are interested in healthcare or law professions.

OUA helps students prepare for professional schools and guides them through the application process. The office partners with the HealthProfessions Advisory Committee (HPAC) for pre-health (medical, dental and pharmacy) studies and with the university's pre-law advisor.
