Summary of Requirements
University Requirements
All new students are required to complete the university's General Education (GenEd) curriculum.
All University GenEd courses must be completed with a minimum grade of C- in order to count toward graduation; however, students are encouraged to aim for the B grade or higher to improve their chances for successful admission to their graduate program of choice. It should be noted that the Department of Kinesiology requires °±õ±·³§Ìý1223 Human Anatomy and Physiology I and °±õ±·³§Ìý1224 Human Anatomy and Physiology II to fulfill the GenEd Science & Technology requirement. Further note that °±õ±·³§Ìý1223 and °±õ±·³§Ìý1224 are required prerequisites for admission to the majority of health profession graduate programs, and students are encouraged to earn a B or better in those classes.
All °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø students must take a minimum of two writing-intensive courses as part of the major. The specific writing-intensive courses for this major are ±á¸é±Ê¸éÌý3096 and ±á¸é±Ê¸éÌý3197.
College Requirement
All College of Public Health undergraduates must successfully complete the College Core Course, ±á¸é±Ê¸éÌý1001 Public Health: The Way We Live, Work and Play .
Major Requirements
All program courses must be completed with a minimum grade of C. However, if a student wants to be successful when applying for a graduate program in the Health Professions, it is recommended that all program courses be completed with a minimum grade of B. This is especially important for the core courses in math and science.
It should also be noted that some electives are 3 credits and others are 4 credits. In planning the course of study, the student needs to be mindful of the 120-credit requirement for graduation when choosing electives. It is expected the student will work with his/her advisor to ensure the 120 credits are reached and timely completion of the BS in Health Professions program is on track.
