In addition to a well-balanced curriculum of core courses, health care students gain practical experience both on campus, in the University's state-of-the-art laboratories, and off campus, in hospitals and medical centers throughout the greater Hartford area. Career opportunities are not limited to hospitals and labs. Many health care professionals put their expertise to work in private practices, insurance companies, industrial firms, school systems and more! Students enrolled in any of the programs offered by the Division of Health Professions have both on-campus and off-campus opportunities to work in program-specific settings. Practical, hands-on learning is a critical part of professional health care education at the University of Hartford.
Pre-Medical Professions Advising We will assist you in preparing for admission to medically related professional schools, while completing your undergraduate major of choice. Although many premed students major in biology, chemistry, the chemistry-biology joint program, or health science, you may select any departmental major as long as you satisfy the pre-professional school requirements. Whether you are majoring in biology, English, or engineering, we provide a structured academic program that will prepare you for further professional studies. Successful admission to medical school or other professional schools requires applicants to do well in the courses associated with their majors and in a specific set of courses in biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Enrollment in our Premedical Advising Program will optimize your chances of successful entrance into a professional school. You can enter this special program in two ways: either by demonstrating outstanding achievement in high school or through outstanding performance in your first semester at the University of Hartford. The Advising Program for Premedical Professions offers students support and assistance in assessing and preparing for admission tests as well as guidance throughout the application process. Because the process leading to acceptance in a doctoral program requires mastery of complex skills, the Advising Program provides assistance with public speaking, test taking, and interviewing. You will receive both tutoring and mentoring and assistance in securing internship opportunities and building a portfolio.
Health Science Pre-professional Program These are challenging programs, and admission is highly competitive. However, if you have the academic strength, the personal motivation, and the desire to have a career in one of these fields, this program provides you with an excellent opportunity!
