Many healthcare career choices, such as physician, dentist, pharmacist, physical therapist, veterinarian, and chiropractor, require completion of a graduate degree after the baccalaureate. Admission to these graduate programs typically requires the successful completion of additional courses in science, mathematics, social sciences, and the humanities.
The pre-medical/pre-health professional pathway is designed to allow students in any major to complete these course requirements and fulfill the prerequisites for admission to various health-profession graduate programs.
The pre-medical/pre-health professional pathway is not a degree or a stand-alone program. Students MUST be in a major degree program at Endicott to participate in the pre-medical/pre-health professional pathway.
Based upon the admission requirements of several professional schools, the pre-medical/pre-health professional pathway has the following minimum GPA requirements:
- Overall grade-point average (GPA) 3.00
- Science GPA 3.00
Students must meet the GPA and course requirements upon graduation to have the pre-medical/pre-health professional pathway designation appear on their transcripts with their degree.
Pre-Medical/Pre-Health Professional Honors
Students in the Pre-Medical/Pre-Health Professional Pathway may also receive the designation of Pre-Medical/Pre-Health Professional Honors if the following additional requirements are met:
