Note: Some health professional schools may have additional science and/or math requirements.
Over the years a number of students who have not majored in any of the sciences have established for themselves a career goal in one of the health professions (e.g., medicine, dentistry, veterinary science, etc.). Entrance into a health professional school does not require that students major in a science. The pre-professional health minor is designed for non-science majors who need a minor and/or the courses required to satisfy entrance requirements into health professional schools. It will also provide the minimum preparation needed in order to successfully take standardized entrance exams.
For questions regarding this minor and entrance requirements to health professional schools, contact Dr. Richard Wilkins at 631-244-3491 or visit him in his office in the Kramer Science Center.

Prerequisites must be satisfied for advanced work such as Independent Study and the Internship in Clinical Psychology, including an overall G.P.A. of 3.0 plus a Psychology G.P.A. requirement.
All courses must be taken according to the prerequisites in the College Catalog: admission to graduate programs in Psychology very often requires Psychology 3170 (4 credits) and Psychology 3171 (4 credits) which are rigorous courses in the area of experimental psychology. These courses can be counted toward the minor only in exceptional cases with Psychology department approval. When such approval is granted, a student will be required to take Psychology 3170, Psychology 3171, and Psychology 4191 (1 credit) to satisfy the 9 credit requirements for Components 4, 5, and 6 in lieu of those requirements listed above. It should also be noted that most graduate programs require both Psychology 3112 and Psychology 3140, as well as Psychology 3165, which the 32-credit major in Psychology is designed to accommodate.
Students are advised to read the College catalog section about the B.A. in Psychology to familiarize themselves with the requirements of the minor.
Students who wish to minor in Psychology must register their intention with the Psychology department and must have a full-time member of the Psychology faculty as a secondary advisor in addition to their major advisor.
