Students pursuing this program should satisfy the pre-professional requirements while completing a bachelor’s degree within the College of Science. Students should work closely with both their pre-professional advisor and their academic major advisor. Since course loads are typically heavy, and requirements and application procedures vary among post-graduate programs, students should plan their academic strategies early and with full information.

Advisement

Students should be familiar with requirements in the Weber State catalog and consult with the pre-professional advisor and an advisor in their major department. Please visit the pre-professional advisement office to be added to department roster and communications.
