- Transfer students: Applications can be submitted February 15th or by September 15th to begin the Public Health Major in the fall semester.
- Notification: After evaluation of your application, you will receive an email notifying you of your admission status a week before the spring advising session (typically mid-March). Applicants who are not accepted may reapply in the future (The next application period will occur the following spring semester).
- Advising: If you need to speak with a PHE undergraduate advisor, call 336-334-5532 to schedule an appointment or come to the PHE Office in HHP 437.
