Pre-Health at Nebraska
As a student interested in pursuing a career in health care, Pre-Health at Nebraska is the best way for you to discover the many opportunities that await you as a pre-health student at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, including undergraduate research, lab teaching assistant positions and pre-health student organizations. This year you’ll have the option to choose a virtual or in-person visit.
During these events, you'll learn why Nebraska's pre-health students are so successful. As part of this experience, you will explore each of the university's 16 different pre-health disciplines—from medicine, nursing and dentistry, to physical therapy, pharmacy and public health. By engaging with pre-health advisors and a panel of current students from a variety of fields, you'll leave the event feeling more confident about the future you want to pursue.
With more pre-health students graduating from Nebraska than any other school in the state, you're exactly where you need to be.
In-person space is limited. Registration will close when capacity is reached.
If you have any questions about this event, please contact Nebraska's Office of Admissions at 402-472-2023.
