Other Advising Resources

Health Professionals Program (HPP)

Doherty Hall 1319, 412-268-8494
Justin Crowley, Director

The Health Professions Program (HPP) is an advising resource for students interested in pursuing a career in a health profession, including medicine, dentistry, health policy, biomedical research and medical informatics, to name just a few.

The HPP is divided into three phases of advising to help answer your questions at every stage of your undergraduate career. During the exploration phase, you are encouraged to explore your interests and gain a basic understanding of your field of interest through seminars, workshops and experiential learning. During the preparation phase, the HPP director helps you to develop an academic program to include relevant prerequisite courses and co-curricular activities. The final phase of guidance is offered as you enter the graduate application process. A resource library is also available in the HPP office.

Pre-Law Program

Joseph Devine, Associate Dean of H&SS and University Prelaw Advisor, jd0x@andrew.cmu.edu

The Carnegie Mellon Pre-Law Program provides support services and related activities and outlets for students and alumni with interests in law, and in the possibility of law school at some point beyond college.  The program has two components that work in partnership: the advising program, and the student pre-law society.  If law school after college develops into an interest of yours, the pre-law program offers services to guide and inform you about law school and careers in law, and to help you select, apply and gain admission to law school. You will receive advice about coursework in areas that will expose you to law-related fields and develop skills relevant to the demands of law school. Related activities include mock trial competitions, prelaw society events, visits and talks by distinguished jurists and law school representatives, and workshops on the law school application process.
