 A special academic department at UW-Eau Claire is the preprofessional program. The preprofessional program is designed to guide students interested in working toward a degree in such areas as pre-architecture, pre-law, preagriculture, pre-forestry and preengineering. Once students have taken all courses that are applicable to their major they will move on to another institution to achieve their professional degree. Each student has an advisor who helps the student choose a reputable school that will offer the best professional program. Pre-professional majors such as pre-pharmacy may be advised in working as an intern. Often advisors will help place these students in internship positions.

Communicative Disorders A challenge-teaching a child the very basics about speech-working with a stroke victim who now needs direction in speaking. This is the challenge that faces students in communicative disorders. Communicative disorders involves the study of anatomy, physiology and the very causes of speech impediments. Courses such as the study of stuttering deal with specific speech problems that may arise. In recent years, intense work has been done in dealing with students who have trouble with concepts that are essential to learning. An example of this would be those children who cannot differentiate between the concepts of up and down. Communicative Disorder majors receive training in the field when they student teach for nine weeks in a public school under a speech clinician. LEFT: Call Van Tatenhoe. 32-Books
