Pre-professional Programs
Biology majors at NMU receive training that prepares them to pursue diverse professional trajectories. Pre-professional programs provide discipline-specific guidance to students with focused career goals.
Program Overview
Biology majors at NMU receive rigorous training across a breadth of scientific disciplines. This serves as a strong foundation from which students can launch to a diverse array of career opportunities. Pre-professional programs help students to focus their academic program toward a specific professional goal. Declaration of a specific pre-professional interest is not the same thing as declaring a major. Students must still select a major (e.g., Biology with Physiology concentration) in order to complete their bachelor's degree. Students who declare a specific pre-professional interest receive expert advising that helps them to maximize their potential for success as they apply to post-baccalaureate professional schools.
Pre-professional programs that are supported by Biology faculty include:
- Pre-medical
- Pre-veterinary
- Pre-optometry
- Pre-dental
