Overview

Overview

The Health Pre-major prepares students to enter and be successful in professional health programs at bachelor's degree granting institutions and beyond. Many students in the Health Pre-major transfer to complete bachelor’s degrees in nursing (BSN), pharmacy, or veterinary medicine. The Pre-major features a rigorous focus in math and science to ensure that students are ready for their future studies and career. Specific transfer agreements are available for transferring into four-year colleges, including the University of Wisconsin at Madison. 

The Health Pre-major does not provide certification to work as a healthcare professional. Students in this Pre-major transfer to complete their bachelor's in nursing (BSN) or other occupation from a certified program at another institution. Students interested in obtaining an associate degree in Nursing (ADN), which prepares students for immediate entry into the workforce as a Registered Nurse, may earn their degree directly from Madison College.
