Many different majors and courses of study can lead to successful admissions to professional schools after the bachelor's degree. Admission requirements of various professional institutions vary; therefore, it is the student's responsibility to determine if a suggested program at MTU meets the admission requirements of a particular college with professional programs. Students should consult with their advisors for courses of study.
Two advisors are specially trained to work with students pursuing professional careers in medicine and related health sciences, and in law. The premedical advisor, located in the Department of Biological Sciences, helps students prepare for admission to schools of medicine, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy, physical therapy, podiatry, and veterinary medicine. The prelaw advisor works specifically with students pursuing careers in law.
Contact the Office of Admissions for current information regarding the premedicine and prelaw advisors.
