112 The All-You-Can-Learn Buffet of Knowledge
Advising for Pre-Professional Interests Interested in a career in health? Careers in the health professions (e.g., medicine, dentistry, veterinary, physician’s assistant, physical therapy, nursing) do not require a particular major, but they do require planning in order to complete requirements and take advantage of additional learning opportunities such as study abroad. Most prehealth students will take one or two science classes in the first semester. For important information about course recommendations based on your AP/IB experience and projected major, see college.wfu.edu/prehealth. Interested in law school? There are no specific requirements for students interested in attending law school. You are encouraged to take courses that develop your skills and interests, challenge you to think critically and creatively, and prepare you to read, write and communicate well. For more information, see college.wfu. edu/prelaw. Interested in the School of Business? Admission to the School of Business undergraduate program is by formal application in January of the sophomore year, and applicants are screened by the School’s Committee on Admissions, Continuation and Scholarships. The number of students that can be accommodated is limited, and meeting the minimum requirements is not a guarantee of admission. The School of Business, therefore, reserves the right to grant or deny admission or readmission to any student even though he or she meets the minimum requirements. For more details about admission requirements, see the 2020–2021 Undergraduate Bulletin: bulletin.wfu.edu.
