The Pre-Health curriculum is designed to encompass the Core Curriculum at Marshall University while preparing students for any of the health professions majors offered in the College of Health Professions. The courses include academic courses common to all health professions. This program of study is available for no more than four semesters. Therefore, students entering into Pre-Health, Pre-CD, Pre-CLS, or Pre-DTS must be eligible to enter their program of study by the end of the fourth semester or select an alternative choice of major. To facilitate the transfer from a pre-health designation to a major, an advisor hold will be placed on all students after three semesters. Students must meet with their advisors to select a major.

  - General Education Course

  - Milestone course: a key success marker for your major. See your advisor to discuss the importance of this course in your plan of study.

Major

In addition to those courses listed under Core I, Core II and University requirements, the courses required for each major are on the suggested four-year degree plans. If you have any questions, please consult with your advisor. A Pre-Health student should work with his or her academic advisor to develop a plan to meet the academic requirements of the major of his or her choice. Suggested courses include:
