Pre-Health Studies at Georgetown

This website serves as your gateway to a future career in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, or other health professions. Whether you’re an undergraduate or a post-bac, you’ll find invaluable resources and guidance to help you navigate the path to success and unlock the opportunities that await in healthcare.

Undergraduate Curriculum

“Pre-Health” is not a major in itself, but rather the curriculum can be undertaken by any undergraduate student at Georgetown University. Our pre-health students major in any of the degree programs offered by the Georgetown University College of Arts & Sciences, the School of Health, the School of Business, and the School of Foreign Service. We encourage students to engage in studies that fuel their intellectual interests as well as pursue their pre-health coursework and extracurricular activities.
