Pre-Profession, Associate in Science
Total Program Credits: 60
Pre-professional studies include programs in the health sciences (nutrition, dietetics, occupational therapy, nursing), pre-veterinary medicine, pre-pharmacy, pre-dentistry, pre-medicine, and pre-optometry. Students typically begin a pre-professional program when ready to take RHT 101◊, MAT 111◊, MAT 131◊, and with the equivalent of at least one unit of high school Biology and one unit of high school Chemistry. To facilitate the transfer of credits to the professional school, the student should contact the school and counselor to help coordinate his/her course selection at Triton.

Note: All program required courses require an earned grade of ‘C’ or higher, in order to pass onto the next course in the program sequence.
This is a generic outline of courses for this program of study. Requirements may vary based on undergraduate major and/or chosen transfer school. Students generally choose a major with a strong science foundation. Meet with the curriculum counselor for specific transfer school recommendations.
The following specialized programs can be started at Triton College and then completed at a four-year college.
Students should meet the general education requirements and recommended course work for Triton and then plan the remainder of their courses according to the four-year college requirements.
