The College of Arts and Sciences functions as the hub of the university through its many departments and areas of study. University Studies courses offered by the College form the academic foundation for undergraduate students across the University. The College also offers a wide variety of pre-professional and professional programs while supporting the College of Education and Human Services by offering most of the content areas for teacher education. The undergraduate degree programs are designed to prepare students for entry-level careers or admission to graduate or professional schools.
The general requirements for admission to the programs of the College of Arts and Sciences are the same as those for Texas A&M University-Commerce as a whole.
Pre-Professional Programs in Arts and Sciences
While the College of Arts and Sciences does not offer degrees in several professional programs, the college does administer course curricula designed to prepare students for entry into the Professional School of their choice. At present, the College of Arts and Sciences offers pre-professional course work in the following areas: law, medicine, osteopathy, dentistry, dental hygiene, optometry, veterinary medicine, nursing, pharmacy, medical technology, health information management, physical therapy, physician’s assistant, wildlife, and engineering. For the health-related professions a campus committee, the Pre-Professional Committee coordinates curriculum planning for the student.
A pre-professional program is not a major. Pre-professional programs do not fulfill all degree requirements of the university and no degree is granted on completion. Students intending to pursue a pre-professional program of study and who desire financial aid should consult prior to enrollment with the Office of Financial Aid with regard to regulations related to having a declared major.
