Pre-Medical Professions Advising

If you are interested in pursuing a career in medicine, dentistry, optometry, podiatry, veterinary medicine, or other health fields, the University of Hartford is especially prepared to give you the help you need.

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 preprofessional 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, writing, and interviewing. You will receive both tutoring and mentoring and assistance in securing internship opportunities and building a portfolio.
