Pre-professional means that students would like to prepare for a specific career. It's a set of courses that each student should take if they plan on taking the exam and entering law or medical school after graduation. It is important to note that a pre-professional plan is not a major, it’s a path. Most students major in an area that will complement their career choice.

Pre-Professional Studies

While choosing a Pre-Professional program and completing the plan does not guarantee admission into a professional program, the designed curriculum does help Capital students gain the knowledge and skills needed for their future careers.

A Pre-Professional path is a set of courses that students should take if they plan on taking the exam and entering Law school, or medical school, after they graduate.
