Pre-Professional Fields

Pre-Professional fields are designations, not degree-granting majors. For example, pre-law and pre-medicine do not result in a bachelor’s degree. They designate a career path that will require a professional school after graduation or completion of necessary prerequisite coursework. Pre-professional students who plan to earn a baccalaureate degree must eventually select a degree-granting major in an academic discipline while also completing courses required for admission to the professional program of interest (e.g., law school). Pre-professional advisors are available to guide students in meeting the specific requirements for entry into a professional school while also exploring their options for degree-granting majors (for more information on pre-professional advising, visit www.pphc.ttu.edu or www.prelaw.ttu.edu). Available pre-professional fields include the following:

• Pre-Clinical Laboratory Science (PCLS)
• Pre-Occupational Therapy (POCP)
• Pre-Physical Therapy (PPHT)
• Pre-Physician Assistant (PHPA)
• Pre-Dentistry (PDEN)
• Pre-Law (PLAW)
• Pre-Medicine (PMED)
• Pre-Nursing (PNUR)
• Pre-Optometry (POPT)
• Pre-Pharmacy (PPAR)
• Pre-Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences (PSLH)
