Pre-Professional AS


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs of Study

The Pre-Professional AS Program is the suggested course of study for individuals who would like to pursue a career in healthcare (Physician, Veterinarian, Optometrist, Pharmacist, Physical Therapist, etc.) and would like to prepare themselves with a broad scientific background.

The program is designed to provide students with instruction in biological and physical sciences and to prepare students for upper-level courses in the specialty of choice.  Professional programs in these areas usually require a Bachelor’s degree prior to entry.

Requirements of institutions where students pursue advanced studies vary greatly; therefore, students should carefully consult the catalog of the institution to which they intend to develop an appropriate program of study.  Students should also ask their advisors about the contractual agreements between the State of Wyoming and various universities regarding medical school, veterinary school, and physical therapy programs.
