Students interested in preparing for admission to a professional school (e.g. medicine, law, engineering, dentistry etc.) should consider taking the recommended course work outlined below as part of their program of study at KSU.

The recommendations that follow are designed to satisfy the entrance requirements of local or regional professional schools. In addition, experience has shown that these requirements are reasonably uniform nationwide and therefore should prepare you for admission to any school in the country. However, it is always a good idea to bring to your adviser the catalog from the school in which you are interested, particularly if you are planning to attend an out-of-state school with admission requirements with which your adviser may not be familiar. Finally, you are urged to work the pre-professional requirements into a specific program of study at Kennesaw State University for a bachelor’s degree. Since students pursuing a pre-professional program in a health-care field usually declare biology or chemistry as a program of study, they are strongly urged to contact the biological and physical sciences or chemistry departments to discuss career goals.
