Preparation of Health Leaders Experts

When it comes to the future of health care in North Carolina, nothing matters more than preparing the people who will lead the way. CALS’ efforts touch people even before they get to college: Our 4-H youth development program introduces children of all ages to the fourth H — health — through projects, workshops and community service. The College also offers several undergraduate degree programs and advising services that prepare students for medical, dental and pharmacy schools, as well as for related careers in nutrition, genetics, bioprocessing, life sciences research and more.
