 Return to: Program Information
New College offers students with an interest in the allied health professions the opportunity to earn a B.A. in the Natural Sciences in either a pre-medical study or a pre-physical therapy study track. These rigorous tracks provide a specialized focus in the field of interest, while also enabling students to gain greater exposure to a variety of other related fields than is typically available within a natural science major. Both tracks draw on resources from other departments in the University, and students pursue their course of study in their specialization and across disciplines in close consultation with an adviser. Both tracks are designed to prepare qualified students for graduate study.
