Pre-Health
The health fields are changing rapidly, with new therapies and models of care always on the horizon. The best-prepared medical practitioners are adaptable and have a comprehensive education.
To prepare for advanced study in the health fields, you will develop a broad knowledge of the sciences and the ability to think on your feet. Those who declare a pre-health advising program can choose any major — popular options include allied health science, 生物学, 化学, exercise and sport science, healthcare administration, 神经科学, 心理学.
Undergraduate Research
Research is built into the Carthage experience through lab and field experiments, the required senior thesis, options such as the paid Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE). Mentored by faculty in the sciences, you can take on projects in genomics, wildlife ecology, 生理学, post-traumatic stress disorder, other research areas.
除了 the Classroom
