Welcome to the Pre-Health, Pre-Law and Pre-Grad Community!

We enjoy helping Penn undergraduates and alumni plan their future academic endeavors.  Whether you are considering a career in healthcare, the legal field or another area of study, our Graduate and Professional School Advising team offers a diverse set of resources to help you pursue your future ambitions.

Pre-Health

While there is no pre-health major, the following resources can help you prepare for a future in medicine, dentistry and other health professions.  Use our resources to connect with the appropriate information regarding course planning, extracurricular organizations, application processes, and enrichment opportunities for your career path.

Pre-Law

Are you interested in applying your talents and skills to the legal profession?  Advocating on behalf of others can be a noble calling.  Learn how to make the most of your time at and beyond Penn to pursue a career in the legal field.   Our resources are developed with you in mind.  Whether you are preparing for or applying to law school, we look forward to assisting you with your professional goals.

Pre-Grad

The decision to pursue graduate education can be based upon the interests, needs and future direction of the individual.  While the decision is highly personal, the road to graduate school need not feel isolating.  Use our resources to develop your own path.  Our office supports undergraduates and alumni at any stage of the decision-making and application process.
