Current 1st year Student Advising

ATTENTION ALL FIRST YEAR PRE-HEALTH STUDENTS

Welcome to your first year of college on the path to a rewarding career in the health professions! To ensure you get the best possible start and make the most of your health professions advising experience, we ask all first-year students to attend one of the “So You Want A Career In Health Professions” Group Advising sessions (offered in the Fall semester) or meet with our dedicated Health Professions Advising (HPA) Peer Guides (available both Fall and Spring semesters) BEFORE scheduling an appointment with a Health Professions Advisor.
