About Bs In Public Health (community Health Education) in California State University Sacramento

To declare the Public Health major, all students are required to complete the following grade and course requirements and submit a Declaration of Major form to the Public Health Department along with transcript copies:

1. An overall GPA of 2.5 and be in good academic standing.
2. Completion of the Pre-Major Required Courses, as identified in the Program Requirements, with a "C" or better in each course. Only first or second attempts will be considered.
3. Completion of more than 45 units.

Additional Information

Repeat Policy: Health Science majors and minors can only repeat Health Science courses one time if they receive less than a "C." Students must meet with their academic advisor before petitioning the department to repeat the course. Refer to the Repeat Policy section of the Sacramento State Catalog for additional information.

Credit by Examination: A student who seeks course credit by examination is to enroll in the course to be challenged. No course may be challenged after the first two weeks of the semester. The instructor of the course will conduct an assessment of the student's readiness for the challenge for credit examination. Refer to Credit by Examination section of the Sacramento State Catalog.

Advising: It will be necessary to work very closely with an advisor to complete the BS degree in a timely manner. Therefore, the Health Science faculty strongly recommends that all Health Science students consult with an advisor prior to enrollment for any course. This procedure should be followed each semester.
