What is a Pre-major in a Limited
Access Program in the College of Health Professions?
Athletic Training and Nursing are Limited Access Programs. This means that you are initially accepted into the University as a pre-major AND then you must submit a Supplemental Application for consideration for acceptance into a Limited Access undergraduate CHP major. All CHP programs are selective in the admission to the major process. Not all students who meet the selection criteria are admitted into the limited access majors. The selection process is very competitive and space is limited in each incoming class. Questions about Supplemental Application submission can be directed to your School Academic Advisor.
All General Education courses and Program Prerequisites,
as well as other program-specific requirements, must be
completed to be considered for acceptance into a Limited
Access Program.
Once admitted to a CHP major, A selected School faculty or college advisor will be assigned to students upon acceptance into a major.
Please note:
- The B.S. – Athletic Training, B.S.-Human Performance
and B.S.-Nursing (BSN) are Limited Access programs and require
a Supplemental Application by a specific deadline.
- The B.S. – Community Health is not Limited Access,
but still requires a Supplemental Application.
- B.S. - Health Science is not limited access, but still
requires a Supplemental Application by a specific deadline.
- • The B.S. – Human Performance is not Limited Access, but still requires a Supplemental Application by a specific deadline.

What is a Degree Program Fact Sheet?
A Fact Sheet is available for each degree program. This
information lists the lower level common course prerequisites
and the upper level coursework required for a given major.
I Have a Fact Sheet. Is There Anything
Else I Need to Know?
Yes! It is important to have all the information needed
to graduate in the shortest possible time. There are requirements
beyond coursework that you need to fulfill before you will
be able to graduate. To help in this process, it is important
to meet with your Advisor prior to scheduling classes each
semester to ensure you are registering for the correct courses
in the right sequence.
When Should I Register for Classes?
After you have been accepted to the University, you will
only be permitted to register after attending an Eagle View
Orientation. As your School Advisors, we recommend registering
for orientation as early as possible. It is important to
attend the earliest possible Orientation since classes tend
to fill quickly. This will increase your choices of required
classes.
Do I Need a “C” or Better
in the Required Courses for admission to my Major?
You must earn a “C” or better in all Gordon
Rule courses and the common course prerequisites for your
major.
