Pre-Professional Options for Undergraduate Students

Pre-medical, pre-dental, and other pre-health students of all majors are supported by the Career Center’s Health Professions Interest Group (HPIG). Joining HPIG on UVM Connect offers opportunities for networking with alums and learning about relevant events, opportunities, and jobs.  Resources for preparing for a variety of health careers can be found on the HPIG page on the Career Center website. Additional information and support are available to those pursuing medical/dental school through the Career Center’s Pre-Med@UVM website. Academic advisors are essential partners in helping students select courses and gain experiences in the pursuit of a well-rounded education.

Pre-law preparation is available to students of any major through the Career Center's pre-law advisor and several faculty members in the College of Arts & Sciences. Advisors meet with students at any point during their college career and support students through the law school application process. Students can also explore the field and learn about the law school experience through events and opportunities promoted on Handshake and the Career Center’s Education, Policy, and Social Impact Interest Group. For more information, visit the Pre-law section of the Career Center’s website.

Pre-vet preparation and advising are offered in Animal Sciences, a major in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
