JCU Undergraduate Bulletin 2005-2007: Preparation for Your Future -- Professional Programs

Professional Programs

Professions such as law, medicine, dentistry, and engineering ordinarily have two phases of schooling: preprofessional and professional. John Carroll University cooperates with the students' preprofessional schooling by offering programs of two, three, or four years' length. Although there is increasing preference within the professions for candidates who have completed baccalaureate programs, students with exceptional academic records and personal development may enter some professional schools such as dentistry or optometry after two or three years of preprofessional education. Students are urged in most cases to pursue programs leading to a bachelor's degree.
