Pre-Professional Programs

Pre-professional programs available at the University include pre-architecture, pre-chiropractic, pre-dental, pre-engineering, pre-law, pre-medical, pre-optometry, pre-pharmaceutical, pre-physical therapy, pre-veterinary, and pre-vocational agriculture education.

Pre-Architecture Curriculum

Students should complete a prescribed program of34-45 credit hours at the University to apply toward a degree in architecture from Kansas State University. Students planning to transfer to another architecture school should consult with an advisor from that institution. All students must consult with the pre-architecture advisor in the Department of Industrial and Engineering Technology prior to the beginning of their program of study.

Pre-Chiropractic Curriculum

Schools of chiropractic medicine usually require the completion of at least 90 credits prior to admission. The specific required courses usually include biology (8-10 credits), chemistry (18-20 credits), English (6 credits), physics (8-10 credits), psychology, and social sciences/ humanities (15-20 credits). If you enter without a degree, many professional schools will grant a bachelor's degree when you have completed one-half of their curriculum.

There are not a large number of chiropractic schools in the United States and students should obtain the admission requirements from the schools to which they plan to apply. This information should then be used to plan the student's academic program. This planning is done in consultation with the pre-chiropractic advisor in the Department of Biology.

Pre-Dental Curriculum

Dental schools will admit students after they have earned 90 credits. These students, however, must have very strong academic credentials. Most admitted students will have completed a bachelor's degree (120+ credits) prior to entrance. Specific subject requirements are very similar to those required for admission to medical schools. Strong letters of reference, good admission test (DAT) scores, and a demonstrated motivation for dentistry are also necessary. Students should be prepared to apply to several professional schools and should plan their academic programs accordingly. This planning is done in consultation with the pre-dental advisor in the Department of Biology.

Pre-Engineering Curriculum

The two-year pre-engineering curriculum is designed so that students can receive a degree from an engineering school after an additional two years of study. The curriculum is closely articulated with programs at the University of Missouri-Rolla and the University of Missouri-Columbia. Transfer brochures have been prepared in cooperation with both universities and are available to students. Students planning to attend another engineering school should consult the catalog from that institution and arrange their programs with a pre-engineering advisor.

Students expecting to enroll in the pre-engineering program should have a mathematics background in high school of at least one year of geometry, two years of algebra, and one year of pre-calculus mathematics which includes trigonometry. If these requirements are not met it will be necessary to correct any deficiencies upon entering the University. Generally, this necessitates attending an additional summer term prior to transferring. Provisions have been made to accommodate students in this category.

Students should complete from 64 to 68 credit hours prior to transferring if they expect to complete an engineering degree in four years. This includes not only required courses in mathematics, physics, and engineering, but also courses in the humanities and the social sciences. Students who maintain a high academic standing will be eligible for transfer scholarships. A pre-engineering advisor in the Department of Physics and Engineering Physics should be consulted for details regarding the pre-engineering program.

Pre-Law Curriculum

Students interested in attending law school after graduation should understand that there is no single pre-law curriculum. Rigidly structured "pre-law majors" are in fact strongly discouraged by schools of law. A wide variety of undergraduate majors are suitable as law school preparation, provided that they have a strong academic content. Courses that develop a student's ability to think logically and to express thoughts lucidly in written form are strongly suggested.

While there is no specific "pre-law major", the Department of Political Science, Philosophy, and Religion provides pre-law advising to those students, regardless of actual major, who are considering a career in law. Such advising includes recommending to students various schools of law which may be most appropriate for them, assisting students with the law school application process (including the Law School Admission Test), and recommending undergraduate preparation for the subsequent law school experience.

Pre-Medical Curriculum

Most medical schools require a bachelor's degree (120+ credits) to be earned before entrance. There are a few schools that will allow entrance after having earned 90 credits, but only students with very strong academic credentials will be considered for acceptance. Specific subject requirements include English (6-9 credits), biology (15-20 credits), chemistry (18-20 credits), physics (10 credits), and mathematics (courses essential for the chemistry and physics courses, college algebra/trigonometry; a few professional schools require calculus). In addition to good course grades, strong letters of reference, good admission test (MCAT) scores, and a demonstrated motivation for medicine are necessary.

Students should consult the catalogs of the professional schools to which they plan to apply and plan their course programs accordingly. This planning is done with advice from the pre-medical advisors in the Department of Biology

Pre-Optometry Curriculum

Optometry schools have admission requirements that are very similar to those for dental schools. They will admit students who have completed 90 credits, but most admitted students have completed a bachelor's degree. Course requirements are similar to dental schools, but most also have mathematics requirements that include one or two semesters of calculus. Other admission requirements will also be similar to those for dentistry, except the admission test (OAT) is different.

There are only 17 optometry schools in the United States. Students should plan their course programs in a way that will allow them to apply to more than one school. This planning is done in consultation with the pre-optometry advisor in the Department of Biology.

Pre-Pharmacy Curriculum

Since there are more than 70 schools of pharmacy in the United States, pre-pharmacy should be advised according to the bulletin(s) of the school(s) to which the student is considering transfer. While each program is unique, most programs are either one or two years in length, and usually require chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, and English, in addition to certain specified courses in other fields. Students interested in pre-pharmacy should contact Dr. Bruce Hathaway, the pre-pharmacy advisor in the Department of Chemistry as early as possible in the enrollment process.

Pre-Physical Therapy Curriculum

Most physical therapy programs require completion of a bachelor's degree prior to admission (e.g., Southwest Missouri State University). Students preparing for application to such programs must declare a major at Southeast in addition to declaring pre-physical therapy. Health Management, Biology, Chemistry and Human Environmental Studies/Dietetics option majors are particularly complementary to physical therapy preparation as they include many of the prerequisite courses. Prerequisite courses commonly include biology, chemistry, mathematics, psychology and English.

Some physical therapy programs accept transfer students after completion of 60 hours of prerequisite courses, after which students continue as juniors in a combined BS/MS program (e.g., University of Missouri-Columbia). Students planning to apply to such programs do not need to declare a major at Southeast but should declare pre-physical therapy.

Because each physical therapy program designates its own requirements for admission, students should pay close attention to the prerequisites of schools where they plan to apply. Students pursuing pre-physical therapy should contact the Department of Health, Human Performance and Recreation as early as possible in the enrollment process.

Pre-Veterinary Curriculum

Students preparing for application to a professional Veterinary Medicine Program for completion of a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.) degree must enroll in a pre-professional program.

The minimum requirements for admission to most professional programs include 64 hours of coursework (the pre-professional program), completion of the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), and acceptance by the College of Veterinary Medicine to which the student makes application.

Specific subjects required in the pre-professional program include English, college algebra, biology, chemistry (inorganic, organic and biochemistry), physics, and certain University Studies courses. Courses in animal science are also recommended. Students should consult the current catalog of the College of Veterinary Medicine they plan to attend and develop their program in conference with the Pre-Veterinary Medicine advisor.

Students enrolled in the pre-professional program should plan a four-year degree program along with the Pre-Veterinary Medicine program. Students enrolling at Southeast Missouri State University will find majors in Agriculture, Chemistry, or Biology particularly complementary to the D.V.M. program. For more information, contact the School of Polytechnic Studies Advising Center.

Pre-Vocational Agriculture Education Curriculum

Students interested in certification to teach Vocational Agriculture enroll in a three-year pre-agriculture education program and complete the fourth year at a certifying institution.

University Studies, core courses in agriculture, and agricultural mechanization may be completed prior to transfer. Students will apply for admission to a teacher education program after transferring.

Agricultural education prepares students to be instructors of vocational agriculture in public high schools and area vocational technical schools. It can also prepare students for careers in many other areas such as agricultural business and industry.

Students may specialize in particular fields such as mechanization, economics, agronomy or horticulture. It is an exciting field that provides the opportunity to guide and develop, through instruction, the future leaders of our nation's agricultural industry.
