Preprofessional Curricula Offered in LAS

The preprofessional curricula are designed for students who intend to pursue their undergraduate or graduate education in professional schools of the University of Illinois.

Advisors for students in these curricula are available in the LAS Academic Advising Center to answer questions regarding admissions requirements and procedures and to assist students in planning their programs of study. Preprofessional students should consult with an LAS advisor regarding any changes in professional admissions requirements. Please call the LAS Academic Advising Center at (312) 996-3366 to schedule an appointment with an LAS preprofessional academic advisor.

An LAS preprofessional curriculum does not guarantee admission to a professional school. A student who is not admitted to a professional school in advance of receiving an LAS degree may continue to work for a baccalaureate at UIC by meeting all graduation requirements of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

Because application procedures as well as deadlines vary among the professional schools of the University of Illinois, students are encouraged to consult both an LAS preprofessional adviser and the individual program to which application is planned. Students who are members of groups defined as underrepresented in the professions should also consult the Urban Health Program in the professional college of interest.
