Pre-Professional Advising

Many CCAS students will consider post-baccalaureate studies. In order to better advise these students, The CCAS Office of Undergraduate Studies offers a Pre-Professional Advising Office.  The pre-professional advisors are CCAS advisors who also specialize in an area of post baccalaureate study. 

The pre-professional advising office is located in Smith Hall, Suite 118 (801 22nd Street, NW), across the breezeway from Phillips 107.
Hours: Monday–Friday 8:30 am–5:30 pm.

Pre-Law Preparation

Law schools require a student to have earned a bachelor’s degree, but there is no required, or even preferred, major for law school. Likewise, there are no required courses for admission to law school.  The Pre-Law Advisor is available for individual appointments. For more information about pre-law advising, click here .

Internships

Students often discover a passion or enhance their preparation for a particular field through internships.  Many students get credit for internships through their majors; other students enroll for internships through CCAS (CCAS 2154) for elective credit.  Interested students can speak with the advisor specializing in internships about issues such as finding an internship, selecting the right internship, and getting credit for the internship.  For more information about internships, click here .
