Course summary
This course in particular will help students to prepare for required aptitude tests (MCAT, DAT, PCAT, and OAT). The vast majority of qualified pre-professional majors from Tennessee Tech are accepted into professional schools in Tennessee or elsewhere. This pre-professional major must take certain courses required for admission to professional schools while at Tennessee Tech, but they may pursue any major in order to work toward a degree. Students in certain pre-professional health science areas have the option of obtaining a B.S. from Tennessee Tech University degree by completing three years at Tennessee TTU and one year at a professional school, providing they are admitted into a clinical program after the third year of undergraduate work.
