Premedical Programs
Distinctive majors, personalized support.
Our Premedicine and Predentistry majors consistently earn significantly higher acceptance rates to health professional schools than the national average.
Students work closely with expert advisors and UD's Pre-Health Resource Center (PRHC) to design an individualized journey toward successful matriculation to medical, dental, physician assistant or other health professional school.
Premedical Programs at UD offers:
- Clinical, research, and experiential learning opportunities
- Guidance through the application process and entrance exams
- Support structure for letters of evaluation
- Mock interviews with Career Services
- Small group meetings with representatives during their on-campus visits from health professional schools
Current students: sign up to receive weekly updates about pre-health events, shadowing, and other opportunities. Find application workshop schedule and resources.
