Pre-Health Career Services - Masters Programs, Professional Health Science
The following programs are designed for students that want to continue their pursuit of a professional health science degree. Program requirements are included on the school web sites listed below. Reasons to choose this path can include:

• Time to improve academic credentials
• Chance to pursue a different focus before starting professional programs
• Interest in professional programs at that particular university or college in the future
• Flexibility of a masters degree (for research, teaching, administration, etc.).

*Please note that most graduate programs require a 3.0 overall GPA to apply. Sometimes exceptions can be made but that is at the discretion of each program. If your GPA is far below the requirement, you should consider retaking the lower division science coursework outside of UCLA, possibly through a more structured “post-baccalaureate” program. Go to www.aamc.org or www-hl.syr.edu/hpap for a comprehensive list of these types of programs.

(Note: **These programs include coursework from this university’s first year medical school curriculum.)
