That\u2019s why you\u2019ll need to have foundational classes under your belt including biology (a year of human anatomy and physiology), psychology, sociology, writing and math. Choosing the pre-professional path in these fields works best if you have an idea which professional program you want to apply to next. That way, you\u2019ll know exactly what classes you need to take at WOU in order to be a strong candidate.
