Pre-Medicine/Pre-Health Professional Programs

The University of Wisconsin-Superior offers several pre-professional programs to prepare students for tomorrow’s health careers. UW-Superior offers the following pre-health subfields:

• Pre-Athletic Training

• Biology (with 10 unique Pre-Medicine and Health Professional fields available)
