Customize your academic experience
At Ohio State, you’ll tailor your academic experience to help you gain essential know-how and skills.
If you want to be a lawyer or go into a health profession, you’ll want to participate in one of Ohio State's pre-professional programs while completing an undergraduate degree of your choice.
Pre-professional programs help you prepare for professional school after graduation. When you apply for admission to Ohio State, you'll be asked to indicate your interest in:
- Pre-law
- Pre-health (such as dentistry, medicine, optometry, pharmacy, physical therapy or veterinary medicine )
Pre-professional programs are not majors, so you'll also need to select a major. Find recommended majors and more at preprofessional.osu.edu.
