Contrary to popular belief, "pre-professional studies" is usually not a major at the undergraduate level. Rather, the term describes an interest in pursuing a graduate level program in a professional area. Within the framework of numerous programs in the university, a student can develop, with the assistance of a pre-professional advisor, a major that will accommodate the requirements of the professional school and the interests of the individual student.
It is important that students work closely with an advisor to be sure to complete the classes needed for their degree program at SJSU as well as the prerequisite requirements for their chosen professional school. San José State has designated pre-professional advisors in many departments.
