DePaul students interested in pursuing post-graduate studies in health professions programs have access to specialized advising through pre-health advisors in the Office of Advising and Student Services as well as the Pre-Health Advising Committee (PAC). Both pre-health advisors and the PAC pride themselves on mentoring and advising pre-professional students on how to become competitive applicants to professional programs.
At DePaul University, pre-health is not considered a major, minor, or concentration. As a result, any student across the university is able to register for the Pre-Health Program and start taking advantage of its benefits.
In meeting with a pre-health advisor, you will be empowered to design a pre-professional program that fulfills admissions requirements, volunteer requirements, and shadowing requirements to be considered a strong applicant to professional school. Any Pre-Health Program student or recent alumni (within three years of degree conferral date) from DePaul University can get advice and support from the pre-health advisors.
After you have been registered as a Pre-Health Program student, you may be eligible for services from the Pre-Health Advising Committee. Eligibility depends on reaching certain academic milestones. Eligible DePaul alumni may use PAC services for up to three years post-graduation.
