Are you interested in a health career?
Pre-Health students are those who want to become medical doctors (MD and DO), veterinarians, dentists, optometrists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and podiatrists. If you have any questions, please contact Erin Flowers, CSTEM Director of Student Services.
If you are a degree-seeking student here
Pre-health is not a major so you will need to choose a major to be connected with an academic advisor. We have some preliminary information to help you choose a major that will meet your needs.
If you are a non-degree seeking student here (i.e. just taking a few classes)
You do not need to be advised. You can contact Erin Flowers for assistance in registering for the classes you have chosen.
If you want to transfer to UAMS to complete a bachelor's degree there
If you are transferring to UAMS to become a radiology technician, respiratory therapist, dental hygienist, etc.: you will be advised by Frances Frazier in the College of Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences, and Education.
How to Change Your Major or Add a Major
- Reach out to your current advisor for assistance in changing your major!
- Your new advisor may be able to change your major over email or may need to talk with you before making the change
- Clearly indicate to your new advisor whether you would like them to remove your old major when they add the new major or simply add the new major and maintain the current major
- The new advisor should be able to update your major, which you can confirm in Boss or DegreeWorks
How to Change Your Minor or Add a Minor
- Meet with your current major advisor to add or change your minor
- Get advising from an advisor in the department of your minor (your major advisor can help you connect with the correct person)
