Pre-Professional Health Careers

Admin Tower

We're here to connect you with the opportunities and resources you need to successfully explore, prepare for, and enter a career in the health professions. From recruitment to commencement and beyond, PPHC is your healthcare career partner every step of the way.

We are your primary academic advising home if you're in one of our ten pre-professional health designations. You can remain in that designation for your first 45 earned semester credit hours. Then we help you move into the degree-granting major that will take you where you want to go. Once you have declared a degree-granting major, as long as you have a health professionals goal, we are on your advising team. Students in any major can meet with a PPHC advisor to continue preparing for entry into their professional programs of choice. 

Connections

PPHC is excited to provide Connections, the official way for pre-health students to link up with the support resources of the Pulse, DegreeWorks, and Raider Success Hub. Are you connected? To find out and for more information, click HERE!

 

Exploration

We can help you investigate many different health career opportunities and majors. We'll work with you one-on-one to connect with university resources to ensure you're on the path right for you. And we'll make it easy for you to get involved with the student organization and volunteer experiences you need to be ready to apply to professional programs.
