Pre-Professional Health

Pre-Professional Health

Maybe you’ve always dreamed of becoming a doctor and helping others. Or you’re planning to take over the family veterinary practice. No matter which advanced field of study you’re interested in, Michigan Tech’s biological sciences degree with a pre-professional health concentration can give you the foundation needed to succeed.

But we don’t just stop at your bachelor’s. Michigan Tech is part of Wayne State University’s MedStart, a program that awards two incoming first-year students guaranteed admission to Wayne State’s School of Medicine upon successful completion of their studies at Michigan Tech. Pretty crazy, right?

  • We offer a strong science preparation along with numerous relevant non-science courses to provide a well-rounded curriculum for students planning to enter the health professions.
  • Biological sciences, chemistry, and biomedical engineering are excellent majors to choose if you have an interest in the health professions—though students can be accepted through the study of any curriculum.
  • In addition to the MedStart Program at Wayne State University, Michigan Tech has a partnership for early entrance with Michigan State University College of Human Medicine for college juniors.
  • Michigan Tech has traditionally provided the highest number of Upper Peninsula physicians of any undergraduate institution.
  • You can get free help on your assignments or work for the Biological Sciences Learning Center.

Our pre-health faculty members maintain strong ties with our graduates. Several alumni who are in medical school return each year to meet with current pre-med students and to offer their advice. Pre-health knowledge is contagious!
