need of critical medical guidance

The Pre-Professional/ Pre-Physician’s Assistant Concentration requires multiple science-related
courses with a passing grade (C) in order to receive a Bachelor’s Degree. Electives are a luxury
Purdue’s
covered. These core classes include the basics of Biology and Chemistry all the way to Organic
Program
Health Science Pre-Professional
Program (HSSP).
Program Objective
To prepare students for
professional school and the
medical field. During the first two
years of undergraduate study,
students are required to enroll in
similar classes to allow flexibility for
when it comes time to solidifying a
major. Purdue’s program is unique
in the sense that all requirements
for professional school are
incorporated into the plan of
study… students will be ready for
Graduate School when earning the
Bachelor’s Degree and will have no
additional requirements to fulfill!
