ABOUT

CLA is an excellent place to prepare for a health career! Whether you're thinking about medical school, pharmacy, dentistry, or another branch of healthcare, you can find the resources you need as a CLA student.

With 65 majors to choose from in CLA, you can create your own custom-designed plan to complete the necessary prerequisite coursework for your intended professional program in health care. We provide opportunities for you to develop into a well-rounded candidate who is academically prepared, demonstrates initiative, contributes to the community, and creates meaning in your life's work. A team of professionals is available to support you throughout this process.
