For those in Southern California who want to pursue a degree in a medical field, Cerritos College is the place to be. Located in Norwalk between Los Angeles and Anaheim, Cerritos College is the only two-year school in Los Angeles County which offers “pre-study” programs to prepare you for one of many advanced medical degrees. Pre-physical therapy, pre-chiropractic, pre-veterinary and pre-pharmacy tech are some of the “pre-study” programs offered at Cerritos College. These programs allow you to start the process towards an advanced medical degree without incurring the expense.
Each of these specific programs is organized to help you transfer to a university program with ease. Each department provides a list of the “pre-study” courses you will need to take at Cerritos before transferring.
