Students interested in majoring in Public Health must seek early advice from the department chair and should apply during the spring of their sophomore year. In addition to a written application, students must have successfully completed or be currently registered in HSC-205 Fundamentals of Public Health at the time of application. Admission to the major is selective.
Majors may pursue a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in either field of study, but students may not double major in Health Sciences and Public Health. Students seeking a B.A. degree must successfully complete all General Education Requirements consistent with the B.A. degree.
