Pre-Health Programs
At Pre-Health Programs, we engage pre-health students through accessible pipeline initiatives, comprehensive pre-health resources, coaching, and programming, resulting in preparedness for admission to competitive medical and allied health advanced degree programs.
Within the University College (UC), students receive support from academic advisors and pre-health professionals. Students with declared pre-majors/majors outside of UC and UNCW alumni are supported by pre-health coaches. Both units work collaboratively to support pre-health students in all majors across the university campus. Pre-health staff are available one-on-one during scheduled appointments to assist with navigating developmental experiences necessary for admission to competitive medical and allied health graduate programs, discuss admission requirements, and plan specific application timelines. Pre-Health Programs offer programming and individualized support to UNCW students and alumni pursuing the following types of medical and allied health graduate programs:
- Allopathic Medicine (MD)
- Chiropractic (DC)
- Dental (DMD)
- Occupational Therapy (OT)
- Optometry (DO)
- Osteopathic Medicine (DO)
- Pharmacy (PharmD)
- Physical Therapy (DPT)
- Physician Assistant (PA)
- Public Health (MPH)
- Veterinary Medicine (VDM)
