* Admission is competitive and specific admission requirements, including courses and experiences, vary by professional program and institution.
Completion of the B.S. does not guarantee admission to professional programs at the University of Minnesota or other universities. The course requirements shown are common to similar programs at other institutions; however, students are advised to check with their specific professional program to be sure all prerequisite courses are met.
Most professional programs have additional admission requirements, and students are advised to contact the program(s) to which they plan to apply to identify all admission requirements.
The pre-professional focus within the Health Sciences degree program is a combination of liberal education courses and courses that directly apply to the health science career field.
