Undergraduate

Pre-Healthcare

Overview

The Pre-Healthcare program is a great option for students who wish to pursue a business degree while also completing requirements for admission to a health sciences professional program to study medicine, dentistry or occupational/physical therapy.  The program is designed so students can earn the BSBA and complete the required science courses for medical school, all within four years of undergraduate education.

Creighton University is uniquely positioned to provide this educational opportunity for students.  Our longstanding tradition of expertise in business and healthcare gives tomorrow's providers the business acumen to succeed in our changing healthcare environment.

Plan of Study

Within four years, you can earn your bachelor's degree in business and fullfill the requirements for medical school!  Rather than taking business electives, you will use this space in the curriculum for hard sciences.
