A Major Decision
Many Pre-Health programs (especially those offering a doctorate) expect students to graduate with a Bachelor's Degree before moving to their healthcare training program.
There is no "right" major for a given healthcare career. Therefore, UNO does not offer a major in pre-health.
Instead, we encourage students to review the list of available majors and choose the one that's right for them.
Studies have found that students who value and enjoy their field of study:
- Perform better in their classes
- Learn varied skills for a wide range of careers
The earlier you select a major, the more opportunity you'll have to complete classes of interest and participate in extracurricular activities.
UNO has developed a medical humanities program for students interested in exploring the human aspect of clinical medicine. The program covers interdisciplinary fields that explore, from multiple perspectives, connections between humans, cultures, medicine, and allied health sciences.
Choose from a bachelor's degree or an undergraduate or graduate minor.
