The health sciences major at Wesleyan is designed for

students who seek to pursue a health profession, but are have

not chosen a specific area of study. You will complete

prerequisites for admission to professional programs such as

the ones listed in the Career Corner box.

You will learn about the technological side of medicine as well

as the human side, as you gain practical experience with our

partner organizations. You will receive personalized guidance

from a faculty advisor, who will provide guidance in

determining appropriate curriculum, prepare you to take the

appropriate tests and furnish necessary letters of

recommendation.

The Pre-Professional Society is for science majors with career goals

in medicine, veterinary, optometry, nursing or pharmacology. Monthly

meetings provide opportunities to speak with physicians and alumni.

We also encourage our students to engage in summer research

programs. Our students have participated in research activities at

universities across the South and Midwest and at Oak Ridge National

Laboratories.

Many health sciences majors at Kentucky Wesleyan receive academic scholarships. Several also serve as

assistants in science laboratories, classrooms and offices. Assistantships provide valuable learning experiences

for students and contributes to the student's tuition.
