What's a 'Pre-Professional' program?
The advising offered by the Pre-Professional program is specifically designed as a springboard to the next step in your academic career. For many students who are interested in a career in health care, you already know that your academic path will be different than many of your peers.
Our programs are structured in a way that you build the foundation specific to your chosen path, while also building a broad-based understanding of the arts, social issues, and business. Let us help you embark on one of the greatest adventures of your life - your professional career.
Overview
The Pre-Professional Program at Millikin University welcomes new students to join our community of learners. We will help you prepare for a post-graduate degree and a career in the health care. Personal contact with the Director of the Pre-Professional Program as well as admission exam preparation, interview preparation, and personal application aid, distinguish our program from others. This is an advising program, not a major. The program director works with each student individually to prepare for professional success beyond Millikin.
