The Pre-Health Sciences major is a program that prepares students to apply for health-related programs at CNM, as well as to transfer to UNM or other four-year degree programs in numerous health-related fields. It fulfills the general education core courses for 4-year degrees required by the state of New Mexico and the University of New Mexico core curriculum.

This program is designed to prepare students for medical school.  The courses included in the program are those required as prerequisites for the UNM School of Medicine (SOM) and most schools of medicine nationwide.

The proposed term-by-term list only includes CNM’s General Education requirements and the minimum science and math prerequisites for the UNM SOM while also including their list of Strongly Recommended and Recommended courses that are also offered at CNM.
