Pre- Professional
The Pre- Professional cognate will prepare students to work in clinical settings. The cognate will be especially useful to students who want to work in health related careers such as physician, physician assistant, physical therapy, occupational therapy, chiropractor, pre dentistry, pre-optometry, and pre-pharmacy. Students who develop an interest in Nursing should consider an Accelerated BSN program after graduation.
Due to the complexity of admission to the pre-professional graduate schools, students must work closely with a Kinesiology advisor to ensure appropriate preparation and scheduling.
