Our nationally-recognized program, modern curriculum and expert instructors prepare you to be a competitive applicant to graduate health professional schools.
Choose your Pre-Health Post-Baccalaureate Certificate track:
- Career Changer Track (CCT)
For students needing to take prerequisite science and math courses. - Academic Enhancer Track (AET)
For students who have completed most if not all of the prerequisites, needing to improve their academic record by taking upper-division science electives.
