Course Planning Tools
Below is a list of select course planning tools to help advisees plan their academic progress toward fulfilling common pre-health course prerequisites. Because course information may be subject to change, these tools are provided as a guide and not as a substitution for course planning conversations with your college and major advisors.
We encourage advisees to make an appointment with their HPA advisor to discuss any and all questions or concerns about their journey to their chosen health professions.
