Pre-professional Advisors for all Lyman Briggs College students

All Lyman Briggs College advisors provide pre-professional advising for freshmen and sophomore students interested in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, or any health profession. Once students reach Junior standing, and are in the application process, they may also consult with the College of Natural Science pre-professional advisors.

Pre-professional advisors provide guidance and information on the necessary preparation and application processes to the various health professional schools for all Lyman Briggs College students. Students interested in pharmacy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, public health, podiatry, chiropractic medicine or optometry, should plan to meet with an advisor early and often in their undergraduate career.
