Pre-Professional programs in which:

a degree may be earned
a degree may NOT be earned

Pre-Professional programs in which a degree may be earned from Mississippi College:

Premedical and Predental Course
(Premedical Advisory Committee; Stan Baldwin, Chairman)
By far the majority of those admitted to medical or dental schools have completed a bachelor's degree program. The curriculum of this program can be used as a planning guide for the first three years fo such a four-year program, with modifications to fit the major chosen. However, any student who is able to gain admission prior to finishing a degree and who completes the three-year premedical or predental curriculum may be awarded, upon completion of one year of satisfactory work in an accredited medical or dental school, the degree of Bachelor of Science from Mississippi College. Application for the degree must be made through the Registrar's Office. The degree will be awarded at the next regular commencement after the completion of the first year in a professional school. Those not following this 3+1 program should follow the degree program outlined under their chosen major and consult with a member of the Premedical Committee to insure that the courses required by medical or dental school are included.
Three-Three Law Degree Program
(Dr. James Stewart, Advisor)
The purpose of the Three-Three Program is to give pre-law students with strong academic records and ACT/SAT scores a chance to complete their entire Mississippi College undergraduate and law school programs within a six-year period instead of the traditional seven years.

Academic units which sponsor the Three-Three Program include the Departments of English, History and Political Science, Sociology, Social Work and Family Studies, and the School of Business.

Pre-Professional programs which do not lead to a degree from Mississippi College

Prepharmacy
(Premedical Advisory Committee; Stan Baldwin, Chairman)
This curriculum satisfies the course requirements for entry into the first professional year of the University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy. Other schools of pharmacy may differ slightly in their requirements. With careful scheduleing the curriculum can be completed in two years, although some students prefer to complete a bachelor's degree prior to entering pharmacy school.
Preveterinary Medicine
(Premedical Advisory Committee; Stan Baldwin, Chairman)
A student who completes course work in this program will be eligible to apply for admission to an accredited college of veterinary medicine. However, students seeking admission to a college of veterinary medicine are encouraged to complete requirements for the baccalaureate degree.
Pretheological Course
(Dr. Roger Green, Advisor)
Students preparing for church-related vocations need to develop strong functional skills in a context of broad cultural understanding. To major or minor in the Department of Christian Studies and Philosophy will offer a distinct foundational advantage for continuing theological studies.

Other suggested majors or minors would include communication, English, history, psychology, sociology, and related areas which would ensure a comprehensive liberal arts background.

Because of the demands made upon those who seek to minister in the modern world, courses in communication, computing science, language, and business would be a wise use of electives for the development of skills which will greatly enhance and facilitate ministry.
Other Health Professions
(Premedical Advisory Committee; Stan Baldwin, Chairman)
Curricula are available for preparation for professional programs in Health Information Management, Dental Hygiene, Cytotechnology, Osteopathy, Podiatry, Occupational Therapy and others. Students should consult with a premedical advisor regarding specific curriculum requirements.
Agriculture Transfer Program
(Dr. Bill Stark, Advisor)
For those students interested in agriculture missions or other programs in agricultural missions or other programs in agriculture, a cooperative transfer arrangement has been made between Mississippi College and Mississippi State University.
