Pre-Professional Programs
Unlike Pre-Med and some Pre-Health programs, pre-professional programs might not be required or encouraged by graduate schools. However many schools, including La Sierra University feel that the guidance and networking opportunities in such programs are invaluable in pursuing a professional career. In our fast paced world it is often difficult for students to find the right courses for their desired career and their admission to grad school. The guidance of their advisors plus the tailor-made and up to date curricula help students find the best courses for their desired career outcomes.
