Impaction and Applying to the Health Science Major

The Chancellor's Office of the California State University has granted the Department of Kinesiology and Health Science impaction status for its undergraduate Health Science program effective Fall 2012. Students applying to the major are required to submit a supplemental application. New applicants, including transfer students, must be admitted to the University prior to applying to the major.

To be considered for admission to the Health Science program, all applicants must meet the following requirements:
(1) a 2.0 minimum in overall GPA, and
(2) the completion of 45 units, and
(3) a course grade of "C" or above in all required pre-requisite Health Science major courses including BIO 25, BIO 26, CHEM 6A, and STAT 1 or the equivalents.

All pre-requisite health science major requirements must be completed prior to admission into the BS program. Eligible applicants will be admitted for available spaces within a specified concentration based on overall GPA rank ordering of such applicants.  Priority may be given to applicants who have completed all pre-requisites.  Check department website for requirements and it is highly recommended that interested students speak with a Health Science advisor as soon as possible.

New applicants, including transfer students, must have been admitted to the university prior to applying to the major.

Students who submit a completed supplemental application will be ranked by their overall GPA.  The department will follow the rank order, beginning from the top and continue until the estimated number of seats is filled by concentration.
