      What does pre-professional mean? 

      Pre-professional means that you would like to prepare for a specific career. It's a set of courses that you should take if you plan on taking the exam and entering Law school, 或者医学院, 毕业后.

      It is important to note that a pre-professional plan (e.g. -法学预科)不是专业. You could major in Instrumental Performance and be Pre-law at the same time if you wanted. However, most students attempt to major in an area that will complement their career choice.

      下面是一些例子:

      • A Pre-law student might major in Government or Economics.
      • A Pre-veterinary student might major in Biology or Biochemistry.
      • A Pre-seminary student might major in Literature or History.
