[Advising] Public Health Concentrations very Important

Advising Community, It would be extremely helpful if a concentration was noted when any student moves from their current major in your area to Public Health. There are two concentrations under this major and they happen to belong to two separate colleges - COEHD and COLFA. Epidemiology and Disease Control (PUH - EPD) resides in COLFA and Health Promotions and Behavioral Sciences (PUH - HPB) is in COEHD. Both colleges want a concentration noted at the time of the change of major because issues are created when students are declared without the concentration. Brian Cordeau, from OIR has been brought into some of these conversations to help resolve these issues. I have mentioned to him that perhaps BANNER could be programmed to not allow for the change of major to PUH unless a concentration is selected at the same time. I believe that he will attempt to see if this is possible, but until then, it would be extremely helpful if you could ask students their preference. Please feel free to call any of us in LHS if there are any difficulties in making changes to PUH. Thanks very much everyone! Cynthia J.
