Pre-Health

Gain the knowledge and hands-on experience you need to live out your faith boldly as a caregiver.

At Calvin, you can pursue any major while completing the prerequisites for graduate school in a health profession of your choice. Our graduates have the opportunity to develop life experiences through off-campus programs worldwide, as well as through research and clinical experiences offered at Calvin and within the surrounding Grand Rapids medical community.

You'll do all this while taking advantage of numerous opportunities at Calvin, including a partnership with Baylor University's Doctor of Physical Therapy program.
