Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky, will help prepare you for success in medical, dental, pharmacy, veterinary science and other health profession-based graduate programs. Our broad curriculum exposes you to new ideas and builds your communication skills \u2014 a must for success in graduate schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transylvania has a comprehensive support system for pre-health students. It begins with an advising meeting during orientation week for first year pre-health students and continues through senior year by helping students prepare for medical and graduate school interviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A solid background in the sciences is critical for a career in medicine and other health fields, but our pre-health students are free to select any major. You\u2019ll still be able to take all the typical medical school prerequisites like biology, organic chemistry, physics and biochemistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Approximately 90 percent of the students Transylvania recommends to health profession schools are accepted, compared to the national acceptance rate of roughly 50 percent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I always tell people that attending Transylvania University was the single best decision of my life, and I still feel the same way 5 years later. Transylvania University could not have prepared me better to see the forest from the trees, the diamonds in the rough,and the people among the crowd. If I could have, I would have done all my schooling at Transy because of the lasting relationships, the experiences I had and the lasting connection to my alma mater.<\/p><\/div>
