Since course sequencing is important, any student interested in these programs should consult the pre-medical adviser or advisers in the biology and chemistry departments about course selection. Early in the spring semester of the junior year, the pre-medical adviser, biology professor James Miller, will meet with students interested in applying to professional schools and explain the application and recommendation process. Applications should be sent before the fall of the senior year.

Engineering

Engineering At-a-glance (.pdf)
This is a two degree, or 3-2, program resulting in a B.A. in physics, chemistry or mathematics from Goshen College and a B.S. in engineering from a major university with an accredited engineering program. The student spends the first three years at Goshen and the final two years at the university. For details and requirements, see the program description of the physics and engineering department.

Pre-law

Law schools want students who can think, read and write well and who have some understanding of what shapes human experience. No specific major is required. History and English are good choices, but, depending on student interests, business, communication, Bible and religion or other fields could serve just as well. The most important thing is to select rigorous courses in wide-ranging fields. Alan Weldy, associate professor of business and a practicing attorney, serves as the pre-law advisor. Materials for the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) and information about law schools and pre-law internships are available in his office.

Pharmacy

Pre-pharmacy At-a-glance (.pdf)
This program is normally a 2-3 program, with the last three years spent in an accredited college of pharmacy. Pre-pharmacy students take general-education courses and courses in chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, sociology and psychology. The student should consult the college of pharmacy early in the freshman year to select appropriate courses at Goshen College. This program does not result in a Goshen College degree.

Pre-seminary

Goshen College has a close relationship with Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary (AMBS), Elkhart, Ind. Students anticipating seminary study are counseled to complete a B.A. degree with a major in Bible and religion, humanities or social sciences. They are also encouraged to join the pre-ministry club, attend the annual spring vocation banquet and participate in a summer Ministry Inquiry Program internship in a congregation.
