Prep,rofessional Preparation
Preprofessional Preparation
Preprofessional programs are available
for students who plan to transfer to
other institutions for the completion
of professional curricula in such fields
as law, medicine, veterinary medicine,
pharmacy, dentistry, optometry,
forestry, architecture, theology,
librarianship, chiropractic therapy,
osteopathic medicine, and podiatric
medicine. Some of these programs are
described in the text that follows.
Students planning to complete a preprofessional
program and degree at
California State University, Fresno
must complete a major offered at this
university. They should include their
preprofessional area plus their university
major on all registration formsi
for example, premedical-chemistry,
premedical-biology, prelaw-history,
prelaw-political science. There are no
preprofessional majors per se. Instead,
preprofessional students work toward
various university degrees and while
doing so, incorporate into their
college programs courses required
for entry into professional schools.
Careful program planning is important
in order to select proper classes and
complete requirements in a timely
way. Regular adviSing is essential
since professional schools change
their requirements occasionally.
Preprofessional students should
contact their respective major and
preprofessional advisors before
enrolling in classes each semester to
stay abreast of current developments.
Acurrent list of preprofessional
advisors is available in the Office of
Advising SerVices, Joyal Administration
Building, Room 121. For more
information, call Advising Services,
(209) 278-2924.
Premedical. Students interested in
preparing for medical school should
declare their intent at the time they
apply for admission to California State
University, Fresno. To do this, it is necessary
that students use a term such
as premedical-sociology, premedicalzoology,
premedical-chemistry or
premedical-general on all application,
admittance, and registration papers.
In case premedical-general is chosen,
a specific subject major should be
selected as soon as possible and not
later than the sophomore year from
the list of approved majors in the Degree
Requirements section in this catalog.
Requirements for admission to medical
school vary considerably from one
medical school to another and change
from time to time, but a well-balanced
liberal education Is usually specified.
Some aptitude and university training
in science and English are essential in
medicine. The minimum reqUirements
in these subjects specified by most
medical schools can be satisfied by
specific courses in biology, chemistry,
physics, and English. Also, calculus is
required by some medical schools.
Because of competition for admission
to medical schools, a grade point
average above 3.5 is highly desirable.
The Medical College Aptitude Test
(MCA1) is required before students can
be accepted into medical school. It is
recommended that the MCAT be taken
and application for medical school be
made at the end of the junior year.
Freshman, transfer, and all other students
who are entering the program
are advised to contact a premedical
advisor prior to registration. (See Advising
Services.) Each student is assigned to
a member of the premedical advisory
committee who assists him or her in
planning a program of courses and
advise~ him or her concerning preparatory
procedures for application to
medical school.
The Premedical Advisory Committee
will mail to any interested student
material that covers the operation of
our premedical program, courses
required and medical school
admissions procedures. Write:
