Professional Program Advisement
In addition to advisement for degree programs, Coastal Carolina University also offers advisement regarding professional programs in pre-allied health, pre-dental, pre-medical and pre-nursing.
Pre-Allied Health, Pre-Dental, Pre-Medical
After completing an undergraduate degree, many students who participate in the program transfer to a school of allied health science for graduate degrees in physical therapy, occupational therapy, physician assistant, etc. In selecting electives within their degrees, students should consult with the allied health advisers and choose electives that best prepare them for the professional schools of their choice.
Coastal Carolina University offers pre-dental and pre-medical programs that prepare students for entrance into dental and medical schools. The adviser will advise students in developing a course of study, assist in placing students with dentists or physicians in mentoring/shadowing programs and provide information for the application to dental or medical school.
Pre-Nursing
Adviser: Dr. Wanda Dooley
Coastal Carolina University does not offer a traditional nursing program leading to licensure. After completing one to two years at Coastal Carolina University, pre-nursing students transfer to a university that has a pre-licensure nursing program. Pre-nursing students are encouraged to select one or two programs they are interested in transferring to, and work with their adviser to complete any courses required for transfer admission to those schools.
