School Information

Dean: C. Marjorie Aelion.

The School of Public Health and Health Sciences offers undergraduate majors in the departments of Communication Disorders, Kinesiology, Nutrition, and Public Health.

All eligible students may apply to either the full Commonwealth Honors College curriculum (General Studies plus Advanced Scholarship) or only to the Advanced Scholarship track, i.e., this option is available to students whether or not they have participated in the Commonwealth Honors College General Studies option. For Advanced Scholarship, Commonwealth Honors College sets the minimum criteria for Departmental Honors, i.e., a 3.400 or higher final overall GPA, and earned grades of B or higher in four departmentally-focused honors courses, including the capstone experience and its manuscript properly formatted to Commonwealth Honors College standards. Actual admissions criteria and requirements for completion of Departmental Honors vary by department. For details on this department's honors standards, contact the department's Honors Program Director or see www.honors.umass.edu/departmentalhonors.
