Chapter V: Special Degrees and Pre-Professional Studies Several special degree programs are offered by the joint cooperation of LS&A and some other college or school 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, and often at the freshman level. 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 two years of 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 Office of Career Planning and Placement. Special Joint Degree Programs Architecture(Joint Program in Liberal Arts and Architecture) Dentistry and Medicine (Joint Program in Liberal Arts and Dentistry or Liberal Arts and Medicine) Engineering (Joint Program in Liberal Arts and Engineering) Individualized Joint Degree Programs Public Policy (Bachelor of Arts and Master of Public Policy) The Concurrent Undergraduate-Graduate Studies (CUGS) Program Liberal Arts Study for Professional Undergraduate Programs Several schools, colleges, and programs (e.g., A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, Business Administration, Dental Hygiene, Education, and Pharmacy) within the University admit only students who have completed two years of liberal arts study.
