Find Your Academic Advisor

 

The College of Arts and Sciences houses three distinct types of Academic Advisors for majors and supplemental advising for Health Professions. If you are interested in the Health Professions please see the Health Professions section. If you do not currently have a major and are interested in Health Professions, select Academic Counselors. If you have officially declared your major, you can select Departmental/Faculty Advisors for questions concerning your major. For all other degree requirements, select Academic Advisors.

Health Professions Advisors

The primary focus of these Academic Counselors is to provide students with supplemental advising regarding application to a graduate professional school in the health professions (such as medical school, dental school etc.) or transferring to an allied health program for programs that are not available at UNT (nursing, occupational therapy etc.)

The Health Professions Advisors assist students with appropriate major and minor selection, courses that meet pre-professional requirements, and applications and recommendations to graduate professional schools in the following fields:

  • Medicine (Medical and Physician Assistant Schools)
  • Dentistry
  • Optometry
  • Pharmacy
  • Physical Therapy
  • Occupational Therapy
  • Veterinary Science
  • Chiropractic
  • Podiatry
