We offer a preparatory plan of study for admission to graduate level health programs.

Students meet with ISU’s Pre-Professional Advisor in addition to their regularly assigned

Common Misperceptions

• Most new students assume that what worked before will work in college

• Many new students do not know where to go for help or how to ask for help

• Some new students feel ashamed about seeking assistance

• Many new students wait until it is too late

I’LL BE IN A SMALL CLASS Most general education and entry

level courses have a large lecture

format

I WILL ONLY NEED TO STUDY ABOUT 10 HOURS OR LESS A WEEK FOR MY CLASSES

We have found that our most successful students study 2-3 hours outside of class for every hour they are in class

it, it may be too late
