Preprofessional Programs
Prelaw
Many graduates of UNH attend law school. The faculty and staff advisers of the Prelaw Advising Committee work closely with students to identify interests and explore opportunities within legal education. The committee helps students undertake the best possible preparation for legal education while also bringing the excitement of law to UNH students.
Interested students should register with the committee by contacting the University Advising and Career Center, Hood House, at (603) 862-2064.
Premedical/Prehealth Care
The Premedical/Predental Advising Office in Hood House provides advising for all students preparing for postgraduate careers in medicine, dentistry, optometry, chiropractics, podiatry, physical therapy, and physician assistant programs. There is no premedical or predental major at UNH, so students are encouraged to major in the subject of most interest to them. A student’s major is not considered in the medical school application process and students from majors in all five UNH colleges have been admitted to postgraduate health professional programs. Though premedical/predental is not a major, interested students are expected to register with the Premedical/Predental Advising Office in Hood House as soon as possible so as to be kept informed of important events, opportunities, and deadlines.
The Premedical/Predental Advising Office is located in Hood House and can be contacted by phone at (603) 862-2064 or by e-mail at Premed.Advising@unh.edu.
Preveterinary Medicine
The Preveterinary Medicine Option is designed to meet the admission requirements of most veterinary schools. Requirements may be met within three years allowing students to apply to veterinary school during their senior year. However, most students finish their senior year, thus allowing more time for electives, concentration in areas of secondary interest, and completion of graduation requirements.
