Some students enrolling in the University are interested in preparing for professional fields such as dentistry, engineering, geology, law, medicine, pharmacy, or veterinary medicine. HSU offers an ample number of academic foundation courses required for admission to professional schools.
Professional schools maintain rigid admission policies, and admission is highly competitive. Qualified HSU students have been most successful in gaining admission to these schools.
A student interested in these specialized fields, in consultation with the appropriate advisor, is responsible for becoming acquainted with the admissions requirements of the school of his/her choice so that a program may be planned to meet those requirements.
