• "Pre-professional" is a broad term for students with career interests that require professional education in a specialized field. 
• Are you considering a career in veterinary care, the legal field or one of the over 250 fields within healthcare? If so, you're a pre-professional. 

All OSU students meet regularly with their academic advisor to discuss their pathway towards graduation.

We provide voluntary, additional support specific to your pre-professional plans, including:  

• One-on-one appointments
• Continually updated website
• Connections with campus partners
• Student organizations with a health/vet/law focus
• Developmental coursework
• Test prep and application assistance
• Health, vet and law library
• Peer Ambassadors

and more!

There is no one "right" or "best" path towards a professional career. 

• Explore our website! 
• Talk to people about your interests.
• Ask lots of questions and look for answers in from different sources. 
• Look for opportunities to learn new skills or further develop old ones.
• Don't get ahead of yourself - focus on what's right in front of you (e.g. finishing high school with a strong foundation).
