Declaring the Public Health Sciences Major
Information for transfer students and those currently enrolled at UMass.
New and Incoming Students
Admissions to the undergraduate degree program are administered through the University Undergraduate Admissions Office. Students may enter the major as freshmen or as transfer students from another college or university. Please refer to their website for requirements and application deadlines.
For Students Currently Enrolled at UMass
Declaring the public health sciences major is a two step process. All students must participate in the online Major Declaration module in our Public Health Sciences Canvas page and complete the Information Review Survey at the end of that module. Once that is complete, submit the PHS Major Declaration form to confirm your intent to enter the Public Health Sciences major!
If a prospective student would like to learn more about the major but is not ready to declare, then they are welcome to stop by our Peer Advising Office in Arnold House 102 for support.
