Course Planning
While many students will choose to major in the sciences, Bard students can elect to major in any discipline and complete the prerequisite course requirements to prepare for an application to schools in the health professions. The Pre-Professional Health Career Advisor works closely with students to ensure they are on track for meeting the requirements necessary, as well as working toward compiling a competitive application for their chosen professional pathway.
Once admitted to Bard, there are no formal requirements to pursue a major suitable for the health professions other than the course, Moderation, and Senior Project requirements for the particular major (e.g., biology or chemistry). These can be found in the college catalogue or on the respective program website.
