Multicultural Student Services is a unique team of multicultural specialists who value the total development of the multicultural student within the aims of a BYU education. The staff seeks to develop a BYU environment of "fellow citizenry" where multiculturalism can flourish: "Ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens" (Ephesians 2:19).
Multicultural Student Services is an available support system that helps multicultural students to be successful in the university community. Counselors take advantage of every opportunity to assist the students and help them discover services on campus that will further their academic, social, and spiritual success.
For students interested in applying for scholarships, an admission application must be completed. Applications are available on the Web at http://ar.byu.edu/admissions.
The simultaneous development of employment skills with increased academic proficiency is highly valued by the MSS Office. Career Training provides this cocurricular development.
Because multicultural diversity contributes positively to the development of students, staff, faculty, and the community, students are valued for what they bring culturally to campus. Special programs are designed to awaken students to a sense of value and self-worth.
Students report on campus interests, activities, and issues in the Eagle's Eye, a multicultural student magazine published twice a year. The publication has a national circulation list that includes alumni, universities, businesses, and a wide range of minority organizations.
Students can complete preprofessional study at BYU before professional academic training here or elsewhere. There are no majors at the university in these preprofessional areas because professional schools generally make no specification of majors. Students may major in any department but are encouraged to select majors and related preprofessional studies as outlined below.
Kevin Burr, Advisor (230 SNLB, [801] 422-2023)
Prearchitecture students have several options, depending on the intended future architectural degree. One approach is to study only a year or two at BYU before transferring to another institution to pursue a baccalaureate degree in architecture. In these instances, students should plan their period of study at BYU to include, as nearly as possible, course work that will transfer directly into the future architecture program.

Competition for freshman class spaces in veterinary school is keen, and students should expect to achieve above a 3.5 GPA. Many successful applicants have completed the bachelor's degree.
