In memory of Dr. Luna Abdallah
Dr. Luna Abdallah, Director of the Pre-Health Professions Certificate Post-Bac Program at San Francisco State University, passed away in November 2022. Her bright presence and fierce advocacy for public education and social justice are sorely missed. Dr. Abdallah’s family and friends chose to honor her memory by setting up a scholarship fund in her name.
Please join us for an online information session about our Pre-Health post-bac program, as part of Virtual Open House. We will have a short presentation about curriculum, advising, program benefits and financial aid, followed by Q&A.
Starting in fall 2024, all Pre-Health Post-Bac program courses will be offered at a cost of $600 per unit. The only courses affected by this change are SCI classes, i.e., colloquium courses (Introduction to the Health Professions, Applying Colloquium) and science discussion classes that accompany the core prerequisites. Fees for electives and core prerequisite courses will continue to be $600 per unit.
Please note, that despite the increase in operational costs over the past decade, we have maintained the $600 per unit rate. We remain committed to providing our students with quality instruction, collaborative environment and personalized academic advising.
