Prerequisites

Health profession programs each have specific prerequisites to ensure applicants have built essential skills and knowledge prior to admission. This guide provides a general overview of the prerequisite coursework that is typically required for admission into health profession programs and the SF State courses which would fulfill these requirements. Each program will have unique admissions prerequisites, so it is also important to research your programs of interest while planning your coursework. 

We strongly recommend working with your advisor to develop an educational plan that includes the necessary prerequisite coursework for your programs of interest. Please also consult with your advisor if you have questions about course equivalencies for work completed outside of SF State.
