Pre-Health Advising Committee (PAC)

Mission

The role of the Pre-Health Advising Committee (PAC) is to oversee pre-health advising for DePaul undergraduate and graduate students intending to pursue a health career in one of the health professions (i.e. medicine, dentistry, podiatry, physician assistant, nursing, optometry, occupational therapy, pharmacy, physical therapy, pathologists' assistant, or veterinary medicine). The PAC will support, mentor, and guide Pre-Health Program​ students through the professional school application process.

Eligibility

In order to utilize PAC services, DePaul students must be actively enrolled at DePaul, must have completed their general biology and general chemistry sequences (including labs) with at least a C in each course, registered for the Pre-Health Program, achieved at least a 3.00 cumulative GPA, and earned at least 32 credit hours in residence at DePaul University. Exceptions to these criteria will be evaluated by the pre-health advisor on a case-by-case basis, and be referred to the PAC for consideration.

Alumni who were registered with the PAC as DePaul students are still eligible for PAC services within three years of the date of their degree conferral.
