Pre - Law Usually the successful law school applicant will hold a bachelor's degree. Since the school of law must teach all of the student's law courses, there is no particular "pre-law major" recommended by the American Bar Association (ABA). The ABA does suggest depth and breadth within the undergraduate program, including principles of accounting. Most successful applicants to law schools hold bachelor's degrees in business, communication, history, or English. The pre-law student is encouraged to pursue a program in one of those disciplines.

Pre-Medical Technology A student planning to enter medical technology must complete three years of college, a minimum of 90 semester-hours, before admission to the professional program. Such students should enroll in the general liberal arts program. In addition they should complete BIO 154, 312, 314, 324 and CHM 214, 224, 314, and 325, plus three hours of appropriate mathematics. Some of the science courses can be planned for the junior year. The student should be familiar with the requirements of the desired school of medical technology/allied health. Students are encouraged to consult closely with their faculty advisor in planning their programs to make sure that all pre-admission requirements are met.

Pre-Medicine &/or Pre-Dentistry The student who is planning a career in dentistry or in medicine should be familiar with the requirements of the specific professional school of their choice. Typical admissions requirements of medical schools and/or schools of dentistry can only be met with at least three years of college work, with a strong preference for a baccalaureate degree. The student can meet admissions requirements with the BS in Biology program.

Pre-Nursing The Associate in Science degree program below was designed to articulate with nursing programs. The student who completes this program with grades of "C" or better, and who has a cumulative GPA of 2.50 or higher will be eligible for admission to most nursing programs. The student who is planning a career in nursing should be familiar with the admission requirements of those nursing schools to which he/she plans to apply. Ususally the A.A. or A.S. degrees can be obtained while meeting the prerequisites for nursing school. In some cases, students have obtained a bachelor’s degree before entering a nursing program, particularly if the nursing program is highly accelerated. Creighton University, in Omaha, offers a 1-year BSN accelerated program for students who already possess a non-nursing baccalaureate degree; several pre-nursing students have completed this program after obtaining bachelor’s degrees from York College.
