Pre-Med, Pre-Law & Other Pre-Professional Programs
Medical School / Health Sciences
Colorado State has long-established, successful advising and academic programs in the health professions (medicine, nursing, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy or other allied health profession). We offer advising in both your major and prehealth programs and assist you as you prepare for admission to a professional program.
Students who take advantage of the advising services offered score high on nationwide admission tests (MCAT, GRE, DAT), and despite record numbers of medical school applicants, our average success rate for acceptance into medical school is higher than the national average.
For more information, contact prehealth advising at the Center for Advising and Student Achievement, (970) 491-7095.
Veterinary Medicine
As home of one of the nation’s top veterinary schools, Colorado State can offer you access to resources that other schools aren’t able to provide to undergraduate students, including pre-vet advising in the Center for Advising and Student Achievement (CASA).
Your adviser can help your prepare for the veterinary school admissions process and our Career Center can connect you with the internships, research and work opportunities that will add polish to your application.
Teaching Credentials / Careers in Education
Do you want to share your love of learning with a classroom of students? Depending on your major, you may be able to earn your teaching credentials while enrolled at Colorado State, or work with an adviser in the School of Education to connect with a credential program at another that meets your needs. You can choose from elementary, secondary, and vocational teacher licensure programs.
Law School
The strength of our prelaw advising program is the individual attention you will receive from our pre-law advisers. Law schools look for students who have completed a course of study that emphasizes language skills and development of analytical capabilities, and our advisers will work with you to design a program that develops these skills. You will also receive assistance in selecting and applying to law schools, preparation for the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT), and financial planning for law school. For more information, contact pre-law advising in the Department of Political Science or at (970) 491-5421.
Business Administration
Admission to most professional business schools requires a few core undergraduate courses - typically including accounting, economics, calculus and statistics. Beyond that core, candidates are typically evaluated based on their communication, analytical and organizational skills, as well as college GPA, scores on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) and relevant work experience.
At Colorado State’s you can have it all – our College of Business offers preparation that is top-notch and our internship and career programs offer real-world work skills that will make you a more attractive candidate for admission.
