Academic Planning Guides

Our academic planning guides show you a sample curriculum and required coursework for common majors in eight pre-professional tracks.  

Note: Factors such as placement testing, course prerequisites and course availability each semester may affect your navigation of your pre-professional track.

What is your pre-professional track?

Each curriculum guide contains prerequisite courses required for those pursuing dental, medicine, occupational therapy, optometry, pharmacy, physical therapy and veterinary programs at competitive institutions. Your schedule will not likely follow any of the samples precisely and will vary depending on high school AP credit, CCP credits, completed transfer credits and enrollment in summer sessions. 

Courses may be taken in a different order, but you should be aware of course sequencing and the prerequisite courses required at each individual school to which you are applying.

To ensure you are on track for graduation and are well prepared for professional school, you should frequently check about requirements/recommendations with your pre-professional advisor, your academic advisor and the individual institutions to which you want to apply. We also recommend you perform a degree audit to check your academic progress.
