A BA in Psychology is extremely versatile and can be used to apply for a wide range of graduate degrees. Sara Schenirer graduates have used it successfully to enroll in graduate programs as diverse as Speech and Language Pathology, Law School, Genetic Counseling, Education, MBA, Social Work, and so much. Our unique medical-track, however, goes a step further and  incorporates all medical prerequisite courses into the undergraduate program so that students are fully prepared to apply for graduate programs in the medical field upon graduation.

Assuming you don’t have a clear preference for another field, this is an ideal program to help a student determine his ideal graduate graduate and career pathway and whether the field of medicine is right for him. Through the course of the program, students are exposed to professionals in the medical field and have the opportunity to observe and speak with them and learn more about the various medical professions. This first-hand knowledge enables students to make a clear-headed decision when the time comes for application to graduate school.
