Pre-Health
Pre-Health is an advising category for students preparing to enter a professional health school. Pre-health areas are not majors and, therefore, do not grant students baccalaureate degrees. You can choose any major offered at Nebraska while still studying any of the 16 different pre-health areas. Start your journey towards a health profession with the resources below, and visit us in the Explore Center for individual advising.
