PREPROFESSIONAL PREPARATION
Preprofessional programs are available for students who plan to transter to another
institution for the completion of professional curricula in such fields as
dentisuy, forestry, law, librarianship, medicine, optomeuy, occupational therapy,
pharmacy, physical therapy, theology, and veterinary medicine. Certain of these
programs are described below. Students should consult an adviser and the catalog
of the school of their choice. Students planning to complete a preprofessional program
and dcgTcc at Fresno Smte College must enroll in a major offered at this
college.
PREDENTAL
The minimum trammg for dentistry is a six-year course-the first two years
(predental training) in a liberal arts college and the remaining four years (dental
training) at a school of dentistry.
The minimum predental program required by accredited dental schools is one
year each of English, inorganic chemistry, physics, and zoology; one semester of
organic chemistry; and additional courses (usually elective in general education,
but specified by some dental schools) to make a total of 60 units. Each science
course must include laboratory.
The trend among dental schools is to require more thnu two years of predcntal
training including a broad liberal arts bockground. Additional science courses recommended
or required include a year course of organic chemistry instead of one
semester, quantitative chemical analysis, elementary physical chemistry, other zoology
courses, and in some cases a foreign language. Several schools require a bachelor's
degree for entrance. The applicant is usually required to take the American
Dental Association aptitude test and present evidence of physical fitness and good
moral character. Many dental schools also require a personal interview and some
administer additional tests. For other information, see the predental adviser and
dental school catalogs.
PRELEGAL
Many law schools require a bachelor's degree for admission. It is, therefore,
advisable for students preparing for law to arrange a four-year program leading to
a bachelor's degree. Law schools recommend a prelegal program which gives a
broad cultural background; any baccalaureate major may be chosen from the college
offerings (see list under Degree Majors and lvlinors). The prelegal student
should choose the major most interesting to him. Law schools suggest courses, but
not necessarily a major, in the following: written and oral English, American and
English constitutional history, world history, accounting, elementary logic, mathematics,
economics, political science, philosophy, science, and foreign language. For
furth er info.rmarion consult an adviser and law school catalogs. ·
PRELIBRARIANSHIP
Accredited graduate schools of librarianship require a bachelor's degree for admission.
A major in any subject is acceptable. A reading knowledge of two modern
foreign languages is a requirement for admission to most graduate schools of
lib.rarianship; this requirement is normally satisfied by the successful completion
of one college year in each of the languages. Students considering librarianship
as a career should consult the p.rclibrary program adviser in the Liurary.
PREMEDICAL
Medical colleges vary widely in their specific requirements for admission. All
medical schools require completion of three years of college (a minimum of 90
semester units) with a C average or better. A program which includes 38 semester
units of natural science distributed in biology (12 units), chemistry (18), and
