Pre-Professional Programs

Scranton’s pre-professional programs have a long tradition of preparing students for admission to the top professional schools in the nation. Our strong undergraduate curriculum rooted in liberal education, coupled with advising programs and personal counseling will help you prepare for advanced study in law, engineering, medicine and health-related fields.

Pre-Health Professions Program

The ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ’s Pre-Health Professions Program has a long tradition of preparing graduates to excel on any level, most notably medical school. Of the 911 applicant to doctoral health professions schools over the past 15 years, an average of 78% were accepted to schools of medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, podiatry and optometry.

Many of our alumni in the pre-professional program have earned awards in the sciences, and many others have received accolades in other disciplines, including English, philosophy, theology and language. Several of our alumni have been named Goldwater Scholars, many have conducted research as Fulbright Scholars, and others have received full funding for M.D./Ph.D. programs.

Pre-Law Advisory Program

In the past four years, more than 150 Scranton graduates have received acceptance into more than 80 law schools throughout the United States. These include some of the nation’s most prestigious schools, such as Boston ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ, Cornell, the ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ of Michigan, the ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ of Pennsylvania, and William and Mary.

Scranton graduates admitted into law school have, in many cases, earned great distinction while in law school and in their legal careers afterward. Examples include a graduate from the class of 1999, who, after finishing law school, served as a law clerk to the late William Rehnquist, then Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, as well as a more recent graduate who, in just his first year of law school at the ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ of California at Berkeley, won two awards for academic achievement.
