Health Professions

Many students come to Moravian interested in pursuing a career in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, or another of the health professions. Not surprisingly, many of these aspiring health care professionals choose to major in Biology — Moravian does not offer majors in "pre-medicine" or "pre-dentistry."
