Remember pre-health is not a major. It is a program designed to help you explore your interests, identify attractive health careers and prepare you to become a competitive applicant to professional school. Students typically spend four years completing their undergraduate degree prior to entering a graduate health professions program. That is why we call this traditional option or “4+.” No matter what your major is we will spend those four years helping you prepare for the next step in a range of health careers, including:
- Chiropractic
- Clinical and Community Psychology
- Dentistry
- Medicine (MD or DO)
- Nursing
- Occupational Therapy
- Optometry
- Pathologists’ Assistant
- Pharmacy
- Physical Therapy
- Physician Assistant
- Podiatry
- Public Health
- Speech Language Pathology
- Veterinary Medicine
Several of the programs mentioned above can be done in conjunction with our alliance partner, Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, as well as some of DePaul's own graduate programs in Nursing and Occupational Therapy.
