WHAT IS THE HEALTH PROFESSIONS Continuing Education Program?

UNH's Health Professions Continuing Education Program, offered at both our Durham and Manchester campuses, is designed for individuals who have earned a bachelors from an accredited college or university but need to complete the prerequisite requirements for admission to a professional healthcare program. Some individuals may need to enhance their existing academic record by retaking some or all their prerequisite coursework to increase the competitiveness of their application. Other individuals may want to change careers and need to complete all their prerequisite coursework.

WHY COMPLETE YOUR Program AT UNH?

You will complete a rigorous academic program and engage in hands-on learning through fieldwork supported by our state-of-the-art facilities. Our Pre-Professional Health Advising Office helps students interested in pursuing professional degrees make the right academic and extracurricular choicest to prepare for the extremely competitive application process. Students who participate in the Health Professions Continuing Education Program will be provided with personalized advising from the Pre-Professional Health Programs Advisor to assist in course registration, answer questions about the application process, review application documents, and navigate other admissions requirements.

WHAT CLASSES DO I NEED TO COMPLETE?

While most professional programs require similar courses, the classes you need to take depend on the type of program you are planning to apply to in the future. It also depends on what type of student you are. Record enhancers may want to retake all their prerequisite courses to improve upon their grades or only retake the classes where they earned below B. Career changers, who may have taken some of the non-science prerequisite courses, may want to retake these courses if they are over 5 years old.
