The Science Prerequisites for Health Professions (SPHP) online courses are for students who wish to enter a health professions program but may need just one or two courses to fill a gap in their transcript.

These courses are taken as needed and do not require students to be enrolled in an overall program. SPHP courses are self-paced and designed to be completed within 16 weeks.

Why Take Prerequisite Courses with UNE Online?

    UNE Online’s science prerequisite courses provide students with a convenient and flexible approach to completing prerequisite requirements. With over twenty start dates a year, we make registering simple and flexible.

    Also, our self-paced format allows students to pace out their course and finish on their own time within the 16 weeks in order to meet application deadlines. These courses are specifically designed to meet prerequisite requirements for many graduate programs and other professional needs.

    These course offerings may also assist with content review for the MCAT and other entrance exams.
