Bachelor of Arts - Pre-Health - Classics

The BA major in pre-health studies with a concentration in the humanities or the social sciences prepares students for medical, dental, or veterinary school by requiring, within the context of a broad education in the liberal arts and sciences, the courses in the sciences and mathematics needed for admission to professional degree programs in the health sciences, as well as a concentration in one specific field within either the humanities or the social sciences.

The concentration in classics will introduce students to the literature and culture of antiquity while helping them develop critical thinking and important oral and written communication skills. It will also provide an important understanding of the classical roots of medical terminology and the origins of medical thought and perception of the body in antiquity.
