Application Process
NUNM values and encourages students with a broad range of academic and life experiences to apply. We evaluate candidates holistically, taking into consideration the following important characteristics that are indicators of success: Dedication to service, compassion, critical-thinking skills, ability to effectively communicate, self-discipline, self-awareness, and sense of purpose.
We also look for candidates with:
- An affinity for and/or prior experience with the program or field to which the applicant is applying
- A solid academic record, and valuable work and volunteer experiences
- A demonstrated understanding of healthcare issues and awareness of natural medicine practice
- Recommendation(s) that attest to your recent academic and work performance
The requirements for admission vary based on the degree program to which you are applying. While NUNM does not have a specific minimum GPA requirement, only a small percentage of applicants are admitted with a GPA below a 3.0.
