Why Study Pre-Health?
Major | Health/Science/Health and Human Performance | CAS/CEBAH
Interested in pursuing a career in the health professions? UWRF offers several pre-professional programs designed for students planning to enter the health field. Our Biology Department offers a biomedical track, allowing students to earn a B.S. in biology while preparing for licensure and certifications in various health professions, while Exercise and Sport Science also offers options for occupational and physical therapy.
We offer several affiliation agreements with external colleges. The affiliated schools provide academic credit to students who transfer into their programs from UWRF. In most cases, students begin their academic careers here at UWRF and then receive a B.S. from UWRF following one year of study at the affiliated school. Students later earn licensure or certification in a health profession from the affiliated school.

I couldn’t have asked for a better program, professors, classmates and overall experience. The class sizes were small, which helped me be successful during my time [at UWRF]. The professors are so personal and will know your name by the end of the first year – it’s what makes UWRF so unique.
