Pre-professional Programs
Pre-professional programs at William Jewell are designed to give students a foundation for future academic and professional studies based in the liberal arts.
- Pre-Dentistry: Students should be prepared to take at least 60 semester hours before seeking admission into a college of dentistry. Required courses usually include two semesters of each of the following: biology, English, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and physics.
- Pre-Engineering: William Jewell works in cooperation with several outstanding engineering schools to offer you a choice of 3-2 or 4-2 programs. These programs allow you to earn an A.B. degree from Jewell in physics and a B.S. degree in engineering from either Washington University, Columbia University, the University of Kansas, or the University of Missouri-Columbia. An additional option is a 3-2 dual-degree program in engineering between Jewell and Washington University. Students can achieve both B.A. and B.S. degrees in engineering. Jewell also maintains a similar 3-2 program with Columbia University, the University of Missouri-Columbia, and the University of Kansas (electrical engineering only).
- Forestry & Environmental Management: For those interested in applied professions relating to the environment, William Jewell offers a three-two program with Duke University leading to a master of forestry degree or a master of environmental management degree. Applicants for this liberal arts-environment program should so indicate at the time of enrollment in college.
- Pre-Journalism: The communication majors is ideal for students interested in journalism because it prepares them in a traditional liberal arts approach, allowing students a broader educational spectrum, while fine-tuning writing and researching skills.

- Pre-Medical: Students apply to the pre-medical program in their sophomore year. The Pre-Medical Advisory Program is designed to connect students with faculty who can help guide them through the appropriate undergraduate academic requirements, as well as mock interviews, research projects, and graduate study. The program is also designed to introduce students to relevant experiences in the Greater Kansas City Area, before choosing a specific career or research path.
- Pre-Ministry: Students can combine their study in the religion department with a complementary area of study to prepare them for the significant learning experiences of seminary and for the field of service to which they are planning to pursue.

Students may apply to enter the 3-2 program in occupational therapy offered in conjunction with Washington University.
