Medical schools and other health profession programs seek applicants with a well-rounded undergraduate education like that offered by Christopher Newport University’s liberal learning curriculum. Like most colleges and universities, CNU does not offer a “pre-med” or “pre-health” major; however, our pre-health program can help students from any academic major prepare for application to medical and other health profession programs. 

Besides offering the necessary pre-requisite coursework, we provide additional helpful resources - academic and career advising, mentoring, clinical internships, workshops and seminars, helping highly motivated students gain admission to the professional school of their choice.

 

 

Matt BackensMatt Backens prepared for his M.D. at Eastern Virginia Medical School and is now serving his residency. Matt credits excellence in academics, friendships with teachers, and fellow students who shared his zest for the volunteer and leadership opportunities abundant at CNU. He put his biology major to work and prepared for his career in medicine.

For convenience we use the term medical school for any postgraduate school in the health professions

and any of the various careers in these areas.
