Preprofessional interests
Students with special professional goals, such as law school and medical school, may successfully follow any of a number of undergraduate programs. For example, prelaw students might select majors in political science, mathematics, economics, or English; premedical students might major in English or history as well as biology, chemistry, or other science curricula. Students preparing for high-school teaching will combine a major in Sciences and Letters with the professional minor in education.
Students majoring in a particular subject area within the Sciences and Letters curriculum may indicate specific preprofessional intentions or educational goals. The academic catalog lists specific categories.
You may also place a code correlated with a preprofessional interest on your student record. The Career Center and various advising offices use these codes to share information. To add or remove a code to your record, use the curriculum change form during the designated change period.
