Please note: you will need to be admitted to UNLV before you make an appointment with the PPAC.  \nPost-Bac Programs  \n• Please note: UNLV does not offer formal post-bac certificates or programs, just a pathway for students to professional school through additional coursework. Please do your research to understand the difference between formal post-bac programs/certificates vs. pathways in which you are just taking additional courses.  \n• Formal Post-Baccalaureate programs and certificates are available across the country through a variety of schools.  \n• These programs can be a better option so you have a tangible certificate at the end of your  \ncoursework; some programs even have an incentive of a reserved seat in their professional school/program.  \n• The best resource for Post-Bac programs is through AAMC: [https://apps.aamc.org/postbac](https://apps.aamc.org/postbac)  \nPathway to Professional School  \nAt UNLV, we only offer students the option of taking additional courses via a post-baccalaureate pathway. Post-Baccalaureate pathways are a specialized way for you to become a competitive applicant for professional school. You are eligible if you have graduated with your Bachelor’s degree and fall in to one of two categories below:  \n1) In need of GPA repair/enhancement: you have an undergraduate GPA between 2.85-3.2 upon graduation and need to demonstrate successful completion of a full time, rigorous, science-heavy course load; or, you who have applied to professional school and were denied due to low GPA  \n2) You are a “career changer” and need to complete general pre-requisites and upper division science courses  \nPlease note: if you are pursuing a post-bac pathway for GPA repair/enhancement, you should *already* have significant clinical, shadowing, community, involvement, and research experience. Those that are“career changers”we can advise on experiences to pursue.  \nI’m interested in pursuing this route at UNLV. What do I do?  \nStep 1: Admissions & Financial Aid  \n• You will apply through UNLV Admissions as a “second degree/second bacc” or a non-degree seeking student  \no If you are applying as a “second degree” seeking student, you can choose any major and are possibly eligible for financial aid. Please note: official transcripts will be required for admission.  \no Non-degree students: you won’t need to turn in official transcripts but are limited to 8 credits per semester and are not eligible for financial aid.  \n• You will apply as a degree seeking student if you need financial aid  \n• Please visit the financial aid office to inquire about aid availability after graduation  \n• Upon acceptance to UNLV, you can make an appointment with the PPAC by calling 702-895- 2959 or [emailing:](emailing: ppac@unlv.edu)[ ](emailing: ppac@unlv.edu)[ppac@unlv.edu](emailing: ppac@unlv.edu)  \no Be sure to read “Preparing for your Appointment” on the PPAC website:  \n[www.unlv.edu/advising/ppac](www.unlv.edu/advising/ppac)  \nStep 2: Understand Necessary Post-Bac Pathway Coursework  \n• If you are a career changer:  \no You will start on foundational/general science pre-requisites first. See list of “PreRequisite Science Courses” below. Please note, placement tests are required for Chemistry and possibly Math (depending on previous coursework)  \n§ Chemistry: [https://www.unlv.edu/chemistry/placement](https://www.unlv.edu/chemistry/placement)  \n§ Math: [https://www.unlv.edu/math/placementoptions](https://www.unlv.edu/math/placementoptions)  \no First semester schedule should consist of a general Biology along with the Chemistry and Math course you placed in to  \n• GPA Enhancement Students:  \no If you have taken all necessary pre-reqs (listed below under “Pre-requisite Science Courses”), you can en","cbCaik0DIp6Wq24b","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaik0DIp6Wq24b","pdf",167601,"English","# Post-Bac Programs\n# Pathway to Professional School\n## Eligibility Categories\n## If You Are Pursuing GPA Repair/Enhancement\n# Step 1: Admissions & Financial Aid\n# Step 2: Necessary Post-Bac Pathway Coursework\n# Step 3: Set up an Appointment and Enroll\n# Pre-requisite Science Courses\n# Frequently Asked Questions","[{\"question\":\"Does UNLV offer formal post-bac certificates or programs?\",\"answer\":\"No. UNLV does not offer formal post-bac certificates or programs; it offers a pathway through additional coursework to professional school.\"},{\"question\":\"Who is eligible for UNLV’s post-baccalaureate pathway?\",\"answer\":\"Students who have graduated with a Bachelor’s degree and fit one of two categories: GPA repair/enhancement (with an undergraduate GPA between 2.85–3.2 and evidence of rigorous science coursework) or career changers needing general pre-requisites and upper division science courses.\"},{\"question\":\"What admission route should you use to begin a post-bac pathway at UNLV?\",\"answer\":\"Apply through UNLV Admissions as a “second degree/second bacc” or as a non-degree seeking student.
