Pre-Professional Advising at CAS

The College of Arts and Science's Preprofessional Advising Center helps students who are thinking about law, the health professions (e.g., medicine, dentistry, etc.), business, or other professional training, to plan their education with these goals in mind and to decide how, when, and where to apply to professional school. Preprofessional advisors help students explore various professions, suggest related readings, provide statistical information about the probability of admission to selected schools, and assist with the application process. Co-curricular programs are also offered, including panels by professionals, resume writing and interviewing workshops, and internships.

Pre-Health Program

Attend an overview session:

Are you considering a health career? Would you like to talk about your plans with a preprofessional advisor? Join us for a prehealth overview! During these sessions, a member of the preprofessional advising staff will provide an overview of: 

• Prehealth academic requirements 
• Ways to develop your preprofessional portfolio and expand your extracurricular involvement 
• The application process for schools of the health professions 

The session will be followed by a question and answer session so that you can get immediate responses to your prehealth questions. 

A group overview will be your first touchpoint with our office and is a great opportunity to connect with other students in our prehealth community. The sessions will give you a foundation for what it means to be a prehealth student and will inform future individual meetings that you have with a member of our staff.

NYU World Tour ~~ This Week!

Events celebrating the diversity of cultures and traditions within the respective communities are held at every global site. Events at the Washington Square campus are highlighted by the World Tour Grand Bazaar and World Film Festival.

_____________________________________________________

GRINGO TRAILS is a feature-length documentary that raises urgent questions about one of the most powerful globalizing forces of our time: tourism. Spanning South America, Africa and Asia, the tourist pathway known as the “gringo trail” has facilitated both life-altering adventures and the despoiling of many once virgin environments. The film follows stories along the trail to reveal the complex relationships between colliding cultures: host countries hungry for financial security and the tourists who provide it in their quest for authentic experiences.

OCTOBER 29  •  7 TO 9 PM  •  5 WASHINGTON PLACE, RM 101
