The
following programs are designed for students that want to continue
their pursuit of a professional health science degree. Program requirements
are included on the school web sites listed below. Reasons to choose
this path can include:
- Time to improve
academic credentials
- Chance to pursue
a different focus before starting professional programs
- Interest in
professional programs at that particular university or college
in the future
- Flexibility
of a masters degree (for research, teaching, administration, etc.).
*Please note that
most graduate programs require a 3.0 overall GPA to apply. Sometimes
exceptions can be made but that is at the discretion of each program.
If your GPA is far below the requirement, you should consider retaking
the lower division science coursework outside of UCLA, possibly through
a more structured “post-baccalaureate” program. Go to www.aamc.org or www-hl.syr.edu/hpap for
a comprehensive list of these types of programs.

**These programs include coursework from this university’s first
year medical school curriculum.)

other masters degrees programs, check out:
The Cal
State University system offers applied masters degrees in topics
like Kinesiology, Health Services, Biology, and Nutrition. Some programs
will have some research involved but not much. Research is usually
conducted at the UC level or at private schools or research institutes.
The
Peterson’s Guide lists
many programs at both public and private schools throughout the country
in areas like biology, physiology and more.
