If you are looking for more information about health-interested student support, you've come to the right place!
What health related majors are available at UW Oshkosh?

Pre-Health (Pre-Med, Pre-Vet, Pre-Dentistry) is not a major at UW Oshkosh
You may be ANY major in college and be competitive for admission to a Health Profession school.
Professional programs of study in the health care field DO NOT specify what majors incoming students should have.
They DO require that certain prerequisite courses be completed and (usually) that an entrance exam be passed satisfactorily.
Because the content of the entrance exams generally included Chemisty and Biology, those are the two majors most often chosen by college students following any PreHealth track.
So pick a major in an area you love and do quality work!
