Transylvania has a long history of training students for careers in healthcare fields such as medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, and physical therapy (see Study Programs for specific information on each field). Our liberal arts curriculum allows students to fulfill their pre-health requirements while still pursuing other interests, often making them stronger candidates for their breadth in training. The emphasis on a broad curriculum exposes students to new ideas, encourages clear thinking, and sharpens reading comprehension—a must for success in health profession schools.
The Pre-health Advisory Committee serves to guide students as they navigate their career options, course schedules, extracurricular activities, and, finally, the application process to their chosen professional program. Students wishing to obtain a letter of recommendation from the Committee will interview during winter term before their application is due. The final recommendation is based on the student's transcripts, resume, personal statement, interview, and personal interactions with faculty members.
Individual feedback is provded to help students better their interview skills and overall application. Approximately 90 percent of students recommended by the Transylvania Pre-Health Advisory Committee are accepted to health profession schools.
Transylvania University admits students regardless of age, race, color, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, veteran status, national origin, or any other classification protected by federal or state law or local ordinance.
