Chapter V: Special Degrees and Pre-Professional Study




Several special degree programs are offered by the joint cooperation of LS&A and other colleges or schools within the University. Admission to some of these programs is highly competitive. Because many of these programs require specific courses for admission, it is important for students to identify program interests early in their undergraduate careers. Although the basic requirements are summarized in this chapter, students should consult academic advisors associated with the various programs.
Many LS&A students are interested in applying for admission to a professional school either after some liberal arts studies or after completing an LS&A degree. The second half of this chapter describes several pre-professional courses of study. Pre-professional advising is available at both the Academic Advising Center and the Career Center.
