In Continuing Education at the University of 蜜糖直播 Boulder, we offer individual pre-health advising to active nondegree students听who are preparing to apply听to professional school. We delight in working with nontraditional students; our听students range in age from their early 20s to their 40s and beyond. Some of our students have been interested in a career in the healthcare field from a young age, but were unable to pursue that path at a younger age due to life circumstances. Most originally embarked on a different career path altogether, only to develop听an interest in a career in healthcare at a later age.听听
