Programs in emergency response may include coursework and clinical simulation training to prepare students for careers as emergency responders or emergency management professionals. Programs can be geared towards medical, public safety, or management.

A program in pre-veterinary medicine can help prepare students who like to work with animals to go to veterinary school. Students pursuing a pre-vet course of study may also be able to work at an internship with a veterinarian in order to find out more about the profession.
