Pre-professional Preparation
Students may choose any major as long as they complete the required prerequisites. Professional schools value coursework over major, so even English majors can be strong applicants. Georgia College’s liberal arts education strengthens every applicant.
Pre-professional paths at GCSU
Some Georgia College majors offer concentrations with pre-professional coursework. Students should choose a major they enjoy and excel in, and advisors will help build a plan that includes both degree and professional school requirements. Since admission criteria vary, students must check with their chosen professional schools to confirm prerequisites.
