The Prehealth Science Committee works directly with students interested in pursuing vocations in the healing arts. Committee members advise prehealth science students and will write letters of recommendation for students applying to graduate programs. A student interested in a prehealth science field should contact the program chair during the first week at ULV so that an academic advisor on the Prehealth Science Committee appropriate to the student s field of interest can be assigned. The health science student is entering a difficult and demanding program, and there are many steps to be taken in preparation for graduate study.
