Updated Prerequisites
For Fall 2025 and beyond, our prerequisites have been simplified to align with curriculum updates and reduce barriers for applicants! Create a plan to complete your prerequisites using the following resources:
- Guides of approved prerequisites - find your school in the list and use the guide to determine which courses fulfill the prerequisites at your institution
- Prerequisite evaluation request - if your school is not listed in your guide, we'll review your transcripts
- Individual appointments with admissions staff - request an in-person or virtual appointment to receive personalized guidance on the prerequisites and how to prepare a strong application
