Pre Veterinary Degree at Messiah College
As the Coordinator of Pre-Health Professions Advising at Messiah College, I’d like to welcome you to our website for the Pre-Health Professions Advising Program (PHPAP). This website has been designed to provide resources for students and graduates of Messiah College who are interested in applying to medical school and other health-related professional schools. Our on-campus advising services assist students in all aspects of their preparation and application for further study, including the three major areas considered most important by medical schools and graduate-level healthcare programs: achieving and maintaining a strong academic record; thorough test preparation for career-specific aptitude tests (such as the MCAT); and exposure to, and the opportunity to participate in, meaningful medically related experiences.
At Messiah, we divide our advising services into two categories based on the entrance requirements of the specific programs and this website is arranged in the same manner. Pre-med advising includes allopathic and osteopathic medicine. All other health-related careers are included under pre-health advising, and a partial list of these specialities is included in the navigation column of this PHPAP home page. Advising for our pre-physical therapy, nursing, and dietetics students is handled by their respetive departments, and links to them are included in the navigation portion of this page.
