Pre-Health Professions Advising
The Pre-Health Professions Advising program provides guidance to those students who intend on pursuing a career as an allopathic (MD) or osteopathic (DO) physician, dentist, optometrist, podiatrist, chiropractor, or veterinarian. Stonehill does not offer a major in any one of the pre-health disciplines. Instead, students planning on pursuing a career in any of the health professions most commonly major in one of the sciences (Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, or Neuroscience). However, choosing to major in a non-science discipline is certainly a viable option. Regardless of the major you choose, what is important is that you take the appropriate tests (MCAT, DAT, or OAT) or other prerequisites for the professional schools to which you intend to apply.
