Most professional and allied health programs such as medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physician assistant, and physical therapy require prerequisite courses in chemistry and physics.

A chemistry degree will allow you to develop the analytical and problem-solving skills that are universally sought after by graduate programs, professional schools, and employers. With the demand for scientifically literate college graduates being as strong as ever this indicates that a solid foundation in chemistry is a must to stay on the cutting edge of nearly any science or engineering field. Students in these programs will also have opportunities to participate in graduate and undergraduate research.

Pursuing Higher Education

Pre-Professional Studies

Pre-Dental - Believes that a diverse student body enhances the educational opportunities for all students and is beneficial to the dental profession.

Pre-Engineering - Prepares students to transfer and succeed at many engineering programs throughout the state of Georgia and elsewhere.

Pre-Medical - Biochemistry I will be offered this summer in “term 2” (mid-May to late-June). Therefore you could take the class before the MCAT!

Pre-Pharmacy - Set of courses that must be completed prior to admission into a pharmacy program.
