This option is NOT available at the University of Florida.  The post-baccalaureate program for anyone needing courses to prepare for medical, dental, veterinary, pharmacy, podiatric, etc. programs has not been available since Fall 2004.   Anyone needing to complete all or almost all of the pre-health pre-requisites should consider other options at another institution that has a pre-health or pre-med preparation program, e.g. University of North Florida.   However, those that need one to two courses , or so, may consider the non-degree seeking option at University of Florida.  This option is only available in the summer terms.  Fall and Spring registration for non-degree seeking students is not possible.

For a listing of post-bac options click on the link below, "Post-Bac Options".

If you have any questions about applying to University of Florida as a non-degree seeking student, e-mail advisor@advising.ufl.edu.
