About Us
In 2004 we set into place a formal certificate program that would allow non-science post baccalaureate students to have access to the courses they would need to fulfill pre-professional school requirements. The program was very small (4 students entered in 2004) and was not widely advertised.
In 2009 the program was moved to University Extended Education and greatly expanded to accommodate a cohort structure. Since 2004 of the 27 students who were admitted under the Pre-professional certificate, 26 have been accepted to health professions (10 to MD, 7 to DDS, 4 to DO, 1 PharmD, 1 PA and 1 DVM). Schools attended by our program alumni include Albert Einstein, Columbia, UCSF, UCI, UCLA, UC Davis and St. Louis.
"Cal state fullerton's pre-health post-bacc certificate program helped me focus my interests and provided me with the necessary resources to succeed. Everyone is genuinely interested and invested in each student's needs. The program gave me direction."
