				Pre-Professional CurriculaPre-professional degree programs are  designed to prepare students for entry into a bachelor degree program  and then into their identified area of professional schooling. It is  necessary for pre-professional students to work closely with an academic  advisor to ensure that the requirements of the identified professional  school(s) are met. For each pre-professional student, the degree program  will be modified to provide the student with coursework that will best  prepare them for their future studies and professional practice.  Students expecting to qualify for admission into professional schools  are urged to study carefully the particular requirements of the  institution from which they wish to obtain a degree. Since society  imposes leadership responsibilities on professionally trained people,  most professional schools recommend that pre-professional training  should stress 1) proficiency in language, 2) broad cultural background  in the liberal arts or humanistic studies and in the social and  behavioral scei nces, and 3) completion of some basic science course and  familiarity with the use of the scientific laboratory method. This is a transfer degree. This course curriculum transfers to the University of North Dakota. |
