"JU有一个 phenomenal pre-health advising team, which helped me greatly to map out my courses and pre-requisites before applying to medical school. 他们也帮助了 me proofread my essays and applications a handful of times before submitting them. They are always open to help.
The small-size classes are also a big plus especially in upper level classes like Biochemistry or Cell Biology. You get to know the professors and ask questions frequently for difficult course topics.
JU有一个 各种各样的俱乐部 which helped me build my leadership skills. The pre-health club is very beneficial as many guest speakers come to talk to the club about their schools, health care careers and various experiences. Fun fact: I decided that I needed to shadow a podiatrist after a guest speaker came to talk about podiatry to JUMPS."

"Jacksonville University was an excellent school and a perfect fit for me. 我花了 all 4 years of undergrad at JU and I majored in biology with a pre-health focus, with a future goal of becoming a physician or physician assistant. Since JU is a smaller school, the faculty and staff have more time to advise students one on one and really focus on helping students individually.
JU has every class that is necessary for students interested in the medical field in the future – this includes medical school, physician assistant, pharmacy, dental, 等.
教师 are aware of what classes are required for these professional schools, and my advisors made it very easy for me to set up a balanced schedule of classes for my major, classes for my future career goals, and other classes that I wanted to take for my own personal enjoyment and benefit. Some classes that I particularly enjoyed were biochemistry, genetics, immunology, anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, and human growth and development.
While I was at JU, I was a member of the indoor volleyball team, and I was initially nervous to pursue a science degree while playing a division I sport. 然而, biology department faculty were wonderful in working with me around my schedule, allowing me to be successful in both my sport and my major. Additionally, Jacksonville is a 城市充满了 extracurricular opportunities for pre-health majors. 我花了 a summer doing a clinical research internship at Mayo Clinic, and spent some time volunteering at the emergency department at UF 健康 Jacksonville. 这两个 experiences strengthened my resume and my passion to become a physician assistant. I am currently in the physician assistant program at Nova Southeastern University and thriving - I feel very well prepared for graduate school after my undergrad education at Jacksonville University, and I highly recommend JU to any student who is interested in a profession in the medical field."
