Pre-Health Professions (AS)


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs of Study

Program Information

The Pre-Health Professions pathway is designed for students interested in a health-related career.  The semester-by-semester sequence requires students to complete at least one lab science course per semester, which sets the science foundation for any health-related transfer major.  Students may choose science and elective courses that are required for specific health-related careers or preferred transfer majors at 4-year institutions.  Butler advisors can help students determine the most appropriate combination of science and elective courses.  This pathway meets the requirements for an Associates of Science (AS) degree.

Federal financial aid may be available for classes required to meet a student’s Butler degree requirements. Once a student meets minimum degree requirements they are no longer eligible or federal financial aid- this includes grants, loans, and work-study.

Recommendations

It is highly recommended that students who choose this pathway meet with an advisor to select the most appropriate combination of courses.
