Adrian’s
Health
Professions Advising Service (HPAS)
program is a service of the Institute
for Health Studies. If you have questions
about how Adrian College can support your long
term interests in the health professions, email

Health Studies for assistance or to arrange
a visit at any time.
Applicants
to graduate programs in the health professions
(at the masters and doctoral levels) must complete
specific course pre-requisites, all of which
are available at Adrian College. If you perform
well in the pre-requisite courses, prepare carefully
for admission examinations, and develop an experience
base of work or volunteerism that demonstrates
your commitment to health care, professional
schools will look closely at your application.
Throughout
your undergraduate years, faculty and administrators
at HPAS will assist you in building a quality
application to professional school. Of course,
it will be your job to develop the maturity
and analytical skills professional schools look
for, as well as to maintain top grades and test
scores.
At
Adrian, you will have a personal relationship
with your professors. Each will work with you
individually to assure your coursework is complete,
and to help you develop research opportunities,
internships and volunteer experiences relevant
to your interests. Letters of recommendation
prepared by our faculty have a degree of personal
insight to your real strengths that is often
not available to students at larger schools.
