Pre-med/Pre-health studies at SUNY Oswego

SUNY Oswego is an outstanding place to begin your preparation for a health care career. Health care is an interdisciplinary profession which requires significant skills in human interaction and understanding. Patients are best served by practitioners who are well grounded in the liberal arts, social sciences, physical sciences, and natural sciences.

Oswego offers a range of undergraduate majors and minors that students can study to obtain the requirements for admission into health science programs. Through a combination of classroom theory and practical experiences tailored to meet what health science programs demand, we expose you to the life-changing challenge of working and learning in the community and around the globe. Our supportive faculty help students form the knowledge and skills necessary to support their career and life goals. Our Health Professions Advisory Committee offers individualized advising, organizes events, and supports clubs such as the Pre-Health Care Club, Pre-Veterinary Medicine Club, and Pre-Optometry Club. Through our EXCEL office, we provide internships in health care settings allowing you to experience active, dynamic learning while you confirm your career options, boost your resume, learn new skills, and apply the knowledge you learned in your coursework.
