Graduate School Advising
Students who are interested in attending graduate school after graduation from Wake Forest should discuss their interests with their research mentors, their BIO major advisor, and Dr. Diana Arnett, the Biology pre-graduate advisor (arnettdr@wfu.edu). Another valuable resource for assistance with applications and mock interviews is the WFU Office of Professional and Career Development (opcd.wfu.edu/explore-options/grad-school). Brian Mendenhall, Associate OPCD Director for Career Education & Coaching, has expertise in STEM Career Programs and has helped many Biology majors achieve their graduate school goals. Schedule an appointment with Brian through the OPCD website.
Health Professions Advising
Wake Forest offers extensive support to all students preparing for health professions careers regardless of major. The information you need to get started is available at prehealth.wfu.edu. At Wake Forest, you will have both a major advisor and a pre-health advisor to answer your questions about how best to become a competitive applicant to the health professions program you aspire to. Undergraduate health professions organizations are another great source of career information. Check out
