PRE-PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS

Here at Hilbert, our Pre-Professional Programs aim to support and guide students interested in careers in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, optometry, veterinary medicine, or law in fulfilling the professional school admission requirements through Hilbert’s robust curricula, unmatched academic advisement, and valuable hands-on experiences.

WHAT IS A PRE-PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM?

A pre-professional program is an academic support program to help students who wish to pursue admission to professional schools after earning their undergraduate degrees. Based on the specific admission requirements of each professional school, the program guides students to choose track-specific coursework that better prepares them for professional exams, such as MCAT for medical schools, PCAT for pharmacy schools, etc., and helps fulfill other admission-related requirements.

Admission to professional schools is highly competitive, so completing a pre-professional program can help you stand out from the crowd. 

Hilbert offers pre-professional programs in health (medicine, nursing, pharmacy, dental, optometry and veterinary medicine) and law.

BENEFITS OF A PRE-PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM

Admission into professional programs is highly competitive. Pre-professional programs at Hilbert give you access to a team of advisers who can help you choose courses and extracurricular activities that may increase your chances of being accepted into your professional program of choice.

In addition to individualized advisement, pre-professional programs at Hilbert offer pre-health and pre-law students access to special events and opportunities. For example, students have the opportunity to attend specialized workshops, information sessions and academic seminars to learn about different career options and professional schools 

In partnership with other Hilbert College offices, our programs also assist pre-professional students with:

• Interview preparation
