Undergraduate Programs
Current UNC students are eligible to apply to a Bachelor of Science in Public Health
(BSPH) degree program after completion of specific BSPH program
prerequisites and most, if not all, General College requirements. For
SPH undergraduate admissions requirements, go to the following departments for more information.
Biostatistics
Environmental Sciences and Engineering
Health Policy and Administration
Nutrition
Students are eligible after completing 52-60 credit hours of course
work or by examination/advanced placement credit. UNC students
typically apply to the School of Public Health in the second semester
of their sophomore year of study for fall admission the following
academic year.
Transfer students to UNC must
submit two (2) applications to be considered for admission to a
Bachelor of Science in Public Health (BSPH) program in the School of
Public Health - one application to the UNC Office of Undergraduate Admissions and a supplemental application to the School of Public Health. Through the use of the online application
process, both applications can be completed and submitted
simultaneously. Transfer students must be eligible for admission into
UNC as determined by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, before the
School of Public Health can render an admission decision. Consequently,
it is important for transfer applicants to remain in close contact with
the UNC Office of Undergraduate Admissions and the appropriate academic
program office in the School of Public Health (i.e., Biostatistics,
Environmental Sciences and Engineering, Health Policy and
Administration, or Nutrition) to monitor the status of both
applications. Upon confirmation from the Office of Undergraduate
Admissions that a transfer applicant is eligible for admission into the
University, the appropriate admissions committee(s) in the School of
Public Health will review the completed BSPH application to determine
eligibility for admission.
