Mission

Health Professions Advising seeks to be a student's home base for “all things prehealth”—that is, anything related to the prehealth experience at Princeton. We are here to offer guidance and resources, both academic and non-academic, in the welcoming environment of our HPA library and offices. As advisers, our mission is to meet three main objectives:

  • To help students make informed decisions about exploring and preparing for health professions, and applying to health profession programs.
  • To promote academic excellence by providing accurate guidelines for completing prehealth coursework, for understanding admission requirements, and for using all available resources.
  • And to encourage student participation in the health care community, primarily through clinical work, civic engagement, and research.
