Regardless of your major at Post, you can declare a pre-health track to start preparing for the next step in pursuit of admittance to medical, veterinary medicine, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, optometry, podiatry, physician assistant, physical therapy, or other related health professional schools.
Pre-Health Track Highlights
Our pre-health tracks are neither degree programs nor concentrations. They are a set of recommended courses that may or may not already be required by your current degree program major. Many health professional and pre-med schools require pre-health students pursue these prerequisite courses:
- Two semesters of biology with laboratory

Some health professional and pre-med programs also recommend or require courses in biochemistry, psychology, sociology, microbiology with laboratory, anatomy, and physiology with laboratory, genetics, and cell biology with laboratory.

Note: While the Pre-Health Track at Post University is designed to offer the undergraduate coursework many graduate schools traditionally require for admission to a relevant healthcare-related program—including medical, veterinary, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, etc.—each institution’s program is unique and could have additional requirements for admission. Other factors can and often do come into play. It is ultimately the responsibility of each student to understand and fulfill the admission requirements for their desired program. Post University does not guarantee admittance for graduate programs of any kind with any other school, university, or educational organization.
