Preprofessional Programs

SOU offers a number of programs in cooperation with professional schools in the Oregon University System (OUS) and private schools in Oregon. Some of these schools are terminal programs serving a specific vocational end in themselves, while others provide preprofessional coursework. In some cases, it is advisable for a student to complete a four-year baccalaureate degree program before transferring to the professional school. There are other four-year programs in which students may take undergraduate work at Southern Oregon University, transfer to the appropriate professional school, and, upon completion of the required courses, return to SOU to complete baccalaureate degree requirements.
