PRE-HEALTH PROFESSIONS

Want to be a dentist? A veterinarian? A medical doctor? The path to a number of health-related professional schools starts here! Students pursuing careers in pharmacy may go directly from Columbia State to pharmacy school. (Pre-Medicine, Pre-Dentistry, Pre-Veterinarian & Pre-Optometry students will need additional course work at a university.)
