Majors and Programs

Premedical and Health Sciences

Your earliest role model was your family physician, who inspired you to serve the public by practicing medicine. You want to help shape decisions about medical care - decisions that impact nursing facilities, schools, hospitals, and your community. Perhaps you see yourself as a pioneer in the medical field, researching new technologies or treatments, or defining legal and ethical issues. Or you're interested in working with athletes in a sports medicine program, with patients one-on-one as you develop treatment plans, or on nutrition programs that enhance our quality of life. Iowa State offers a wide range of preprofessional programs and majors to prepare you for a career in health.
