Notes:
(1) In addition to the courses shown above, students will need to obtain credit for 1 additional free elective course (i.e. through adding to an existing semester, transfer credit or summer coursework).
(2) Students must take a one semester long social science course (i.e. sociology, psychology, economics) in order to complete MPH admissions requirements.  Required courses of the BS Microbiology program fulfil the remaining admissions requirements for this MPH concentration.
**All students will register for BIO 380 Microbiology Seminar (0 credits) every semester.
