Students in any HSS major can go to medical school, dental school, veterinary school, as well as post-graduate programs in physical and occupational therapy and other health care fields.
You can combine the pre-med (and pre-health care) courses with any HSS major. Indeed, every year HSS graduates who majored in Psychology, English, History, Philosophy and more go on to medical school.
HSS students interested in post-graduate studies related to the health care field (including medical school, dental school, veterinary school, etc.) can reach out to Dr. Andy Leynes* (PSY – leynes@tcnj.edu) or Dr. David Blake (English – blake@tcnj.edu) – both HSS faculty advisors on the TCNJ Medical Careers Advisory Committee – to be added to the Health Professions Student Group in PAWS and receive related academic advising. (*Dr. Leynes will be on sabbatical in the fall 2024 semester.)
Any questions or concerns about classes required for medical school should be directed to the HSS Dean’s Office and not the School of Science.
