Health Professions Exploration Pathway (HPEX)

This pathway is a special designation for undeclared students pursuing various pre-health tracks (pre-medicine, dental, physical therapy, physician assistant, optometry, pharmacy, occupational therapy, veterinary medicine, etc.). Programs in healthcare often do not require specific majors giving you the opportunity to design the academic journey that allows you to thrive while also taking the necessary prerequisites for their pre-health track.
