The College of Arts and Sciences is composed of 14 academic departments offering bachelor’s degrees, including the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and Bachelor of Music. Students interested in any of these programs should consult the department descriptions in this section of the catalog.
Master’s degrees, including the Master of Public Administration with concentrations in Criminal Justice, Emergency Management, and Health Administration, and the Master of Arts in English Education, Mathematics Education, Science Education, and Social Studies Education, are available through the Graduate School. Students interested in any of these programs should consult The Graduate School section of the catalog.
Health Professions Programs
The Department of Biology and the Department of Chemistry and Physics provide curricula that meet the requirements for admission into most schools of medicine, dentistry, veterinary science, and medical technology. In addition, students wishing to pursue a degree in a variety of other health related professions such as pharmacy, optometry, physical therapy, etc., can obtain the required college preparation at UNC Pembroke prior to matriculation into the appropriate professional school. In each case, admission to the professional school is competitive, and completion of the prescribed curriculum at UNCP does not guarantee such admission. Because entrance requirements vary with the profession and with individual schools, it is the responsibility of the student to be familiar with the requirements of the specific school to which he or she plans to apply. Advice or assistance can be obtained from the Health Careers Pre-Health Advisor, or from many biology and chemistry faculty members.
Pre-Health Pathways and Degree Programs that Lead to the Health Professions
Degree Programs
|
Potential Pathways to Professional Schools
|
Most Common Degree Programs:
B.S. Biology, B.S. Chemistry, B.S. Applied Physics
Potential Options: B.S. Psychology, B.S. Mathematics
**It is not necessary to major in any of the above degree programs; however, many pre-health students pursue degrees in the natural sciences.
|
Pre-Medical, Pre-Dental, Pre-Pharmacy,
Pre-Physician Assistant,
Pre-Optometry, Pre-Public Health,
Pre-Physical/Occupational Therapy,
Pre-Chiropractic Medicine, Pre-Podiatry,
Pre-Veterinary Medicine
|
Pre-professional Curricula in Medicine
Although a B.S. degree is technically not a prerequisite for each of the above professional programs, most students who apply and are accepted do hold an undergraduate degree. It is therefore recommended that students interested in these areas pursue a B.S. degree. The Department of Biology and that of Chemistry and Physics, offer B.S. degree programs with biomedical emphasis and pre-health professions that enable students to meet requirements for most professional schools. These programs are detailed in the program descriptions of the Departments of Biology and the Department of Chemistry and Physics.
