Pre-Health Professions Advising

Students interested in the health professions listed below are advised through the College of Arts and Sciences' Pre-Health Professions Program (PHPP). PHPP is not a major or a degree-granting program. Health professions advisors help students become competitive applicants to professional schools that will prepare them for the following health careers:

· Clinical laboratory science (medical technology)
· Dentistry
· Health information management
· Medicine (allopathic, osteopathic, chiropractic, podiatric, physician's assistant)
· Nursing
· Occupational therapy
· Optometry
· Pharmacy
· Physical therapy
· Pre-respiratory care
· Pre-veterinary medicine (Students interested in Veterinary Medicine may be advised through the College of Arts and Sciences or the College of Agriculture. See the Pre-Health Professions Program section in this catalog for a detailed explanation.)

Among these pre-health areas, an undergraduate major is offered only in clinical laboratory science. The other pre-health areas are not majors.

Some professional schools require a bachelor's degree before you enroll. Even if a degree is not required, some students wish to each a bachelor's degree from K-State before going on to professional school.

Students who require or wish to complete a bachelor's degree before going on to professional school must declare a major. No specific major is preferred over another by professional schools, so students should choose a major based on their academic interests. A major may be chosen from any undergraduate college at Kansas State University. Pre-health students who declare a major will have a pre-health advisor and an advisor for their undergraduate major.
