Students planning to major in public health at a university usually take courses in social sciences (such as
anthropology, psychology, sociology, geography, polical science, or economics) and the natural sciences (such as
biology), as well as general educaon requirements, to prepare to transfer.
Please note: this is not a complete list of prerequisites. You should consult with an advisor at Seale Central to
make sure you take the appropriate courses to be prepared to enter the major.
*Check prerequisites, admission requirements, and GPA requirements at your intended transfer university early so
you can be well-prepared to transfer.
Consider an emphasis to your associate degree before you transfer, such as Global Health, or Equity and Social Jusce.
This can enhance your resume, personal experience and be something you put into your personal statement.
