Pre-Health
The Nutrition and Health Sciences major is an excellent choice for satisying pre-health requirements for admission to professional health schools. It is important to recognize that "pre-health" is not a major, but rather an educational track that includes courses needed for health schools while earning a bachelor's degree.
Regardless of the major you choose at UNL, the Nutrition and Health Sciences major provides a solid foundation in science and lifestyle factors that affect health throughout the life span.
Within the Nutrition and Health Sciences major, pre-health students often choose one of the following options:
- Athletic Training
- Nutrition Science
- Nutrition, Exercise and Health Science
- Community Health and Wellness
Pre-health students in the College of Education and Human Sciences may consider additional majors including:
- Communication Sciences and Disorders
- Human Development and Family Science
