Pre-Health
Pre-health students are interested in a wide range of health-related careers, from nursing or veterinary medicine, to cardiovascular technology, epidemiology or public health. OPPA can help you choose a graduate school or career path.
Your Major
There is no required list of majors for students who choose to identify as pre-professional
students. The Office of Pre-Professional Advising (OPPA) will make recommendations based on your chosen path and will make sure you
have the support and knowledge you need to apply to competitive professional schools.
Your Advantage
If you already know what you want to do after graduating from the Honors College, identifying yourself as a pre-professional student can help get you on your chosen career path sooner, and with relative ease.
In some cases, like with our 3+3 Bachelor's/JD degree program, you can save time and money by reducing the total amount of time
you have to spend in school. The advisors at the Office of Pre-Professional Advising
can also help you navigate the application process when it's time to take the next
step and apply to a graduate program.
Your Future
Students in pre-professional programs hope to attend law school or medical, dental,
veterinary or other health professional schools, and we're here to support those goals.
We have an excellent track record of preparing students for post-graduate professional
studies.

Rice School of Law Admission Partnership Program that provides automatic admission and financial support to the UofSC law school.
Pre-Med
Students who identify as pre-med aspire to attend medical school, and Ph.D./M.D. programs and other combined and accelerated programs.
