Students participating in “Introduction to Health Careers” class..In addition to a variety of science courses and majors, we offer an “Introduction to Health Careers” class (BIOL 207) for students interested in exploring medicine and other health professions. Not sure exactly which healthcare path is for you? This class is perfect for pre-something-in-healthcare majors.

Designed to inform students about career choices in the health professions, this class also reviews expectations and requirements for successful applicants to professional school and features guest speakers and hands-on activities such as suturing and blood pressure checks.

Graduate and professional school prep

A career in health sciences usually requires study beyond the undergraduate level. While this major is ideal for students interested in graduate study in chiropractic medicine, athletic training, occupational therapy, or physical therapy, Monmouth also offers pathways for physician assistant, medicine, pharmacy and several other healthcare programs.

Our professors are well-versed at helping students prepare graduate and professional school applications, study for admission exams, craft a CV, and compile research experience.
