Dedicated Advising
If you are interested in preparing for a health profession, you can select any major at Susquehanna. It is easier to fulfill the admissions requirements for professional schools as a science major. But it is possible to major in a non-science discipline, and satisfy professional requirements by taking the necessary courses as electives.
You will be assigned an advisor who, along with Prehealth Professions Advisor Jan Reichard-Brown, Ph.D., will help ensure that you have fulfilled all the prerequisite courses necessary for admission into your chosen field.
A letter of reference is required for any medical school, and is an important part of your application package. As chair of the Health Professions Advising Committee, Reichard-Brown will consult with members of the Susquehanna community to help write your committee letter of reference. You are encouraged to meet often with faculty and staff members so they can get to know you before writing your letter.
