Students preparing for careers in the health professions (medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, podiatric medicine, optometry) generally major in biology or chemistry, but may elect to major in any program provided they schedule the required minimum science and mathematics courses to support their applications.  The courses specified by the Association of American Medical colleges for Medical School applicants are generally applicable as minimal requirement for any of the health professions.

The teacher preparation program leads to eligibility for an Instructional I certificate to teach in either the elementary or secondary schools or to teach mentally and or physically handicapped students in the elementary and secondary schools of Pennsylvania.

Law schools do not prescribe particular curricula for admissions.  La Salle, therefore,  approaches the preparation for law on an individualized basis, tailoring the program of each student to individual needs and desires.  Thus, students may major in English, political science, history, etc, as preparation for law.
