Pre-Nursing

Available as a pre-professional advising track

Roanoke provides a rigorous preparation in the sciences, along with access to research opportunities. This will give you an edge in gaining admission to top-quality graduate programs across the country. 

As a student in Pre-Nursing, you'll work directly with the Health Careers Advising Board (HPAB), which assists students interested in a variety of health fields.

What Makes Roanoke Different?

A Great Place to Pursue Medicine: As the medical hub of Southwest Virginia, the Roanoke Valley is the home of two major health care systems, a VA hospital and multiple medical schools. Students benefit from the relationships Roanoke College has cultivated with these organizations.
