OPTION: Prehealth with emphasis in Nutrition
Students planning to attend medical or dental schools may enroll in any discipline. This option is designed to meet the requirements for entry into most medical or dental schools as well as schools associated with other health professions such as physical therapy and pharmacy. Most professional schools require chemistry (16 credits), biology (8-16 credits), calculus (3 credits) and physics (8 credits). These requirements have been incorporated into this option. In addition to the requirements needed for the delineated health professions, this option will also provide an extensive background in nutrition which is integral to these professions. Because there is a growing interest in having multiskilled professionals, the student completing this option may want to also complete the additional course work outlined at the bottom of this program of study so that they will have met the academic requirements for becoming a registered dietitian.
Selection to professional schools is typically based on four separate but interrelated criteria: (1) evaluation of academic transcripts, (2) evaluation of scores on admissions tests, (3) letters of recommendation and (4) personal interviews. The Health Professions Advisory Committee works with all prospective applicants to professional school to provide advice and information on the admissions process and to ensure that all prehealth students have the best possible opportunity of gaining admission to the school of their choice. Each student is expected to register with the committee no later than the first semester of their sophomore year. Check with adviser for information.

A verification statement is issued upon completion of the didactic program. To get a verification statement (1) students must attain a C or higher (on campus or transfer) in the following classes: All courses with CHEM, BCHE and BIOL/SP M prefixes and all classes with HNFS prefix; (2) students desiring to transfer in courses comparable to HNFS 455 and HNFS 457 will need to take a challenge exam related to each course, students must attain a C or higher on each exam before transfer credits will be allowed; (3) students must take at least 30 credits at New Mexico State University with 20 as upper-division (300 level or above) credits and 10 credits in HNFS (300 level or above).
Following graduation, a supervised practice experience in a hospital or institution approved by the American Dietetic Association is required. Note: This experience CANNOT be met by attending professional health school. Upon successful completion of the experience, the student is eligible to take the registration exam required by the American Dietetic Association to be a Registered Dietitian.
