Pre-Podiatry

Pre-podiatry advising is available to current ECU students through the Center for Pre-Professional Advising.

ECU  students are assigned a primary advisory who will guide them through  their major and course selections. When students register with the  Pre-Professional Advising Center and indicate that they plan to work  towards podiatry school, they will also be assigned a pre-professional  advisor as a secondary resource. The pre-professional advisor will help  the student determine a timeline for completing the pre-podiatry  prerequisites and preparing for the podiatry school application process.  As ECU does not have a podiatry program it is important that students  research their options and specific requirements early.
