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 apply to the Health Science major, you must meet all of the following supplemental admission criteria:

• A 2.0 minimum in overall GPA, and
• The completion of 45 units, and
• A grade of "C" or above in all pre-requisite courses: BIO 25, BIO 26, CHEM 6A, PSYC 2, HLSC 50, and STAT 1 or their articulated equivalents

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.

Note: HLSC 98, Pro Seminar is not required to apply to the program. However, it is highly recommended that students complete the course prior to submitting the supplemental application in order to have a better understanding of the program's expectations, work load, fields of study, and career possibilities.
