Pre-Health Professions
Pre-health studies at Motlow State Community College provide challenging academic
courses that give you a solid foundation of knowledge for professional school, whatever
your major. You also gain professional experiences that help you work effectively
in a team and with patients. A pre-health studies program also helps you make connections
with faculty, peers, and patients. It enables you to think more critically, problem-solve
creatively, and communicate effectively in an ever-changing world.
The Associate of Science (A.S.) Pre-Health Professions degree prepares you for transfer to a university and is a Tennessee Transfer Pathways (TTP). TTPs enable you to complete your degree at Motlow and then transfer to any Tennessee public university, and several Tennessee private universities, to complete your bachelor’s degree.
Healthcare programs are competitive. Completing your A.S. degree at Motlow can help strengthen your academic resume. Depending on the field of study, many entry-level research assistant jobs only require an associate degree or certification. That means there is a significant amount of great research and technician jobs you can apply for with your prehealth degree.
