Transfer Students

We are ready to make transferring into the Department of Environmental & Occupational Health Sciences a welcoming and tailor-made experience for each student. Our goal is to ensure your time in the department is fulfilling, which begins with the moment you explore transferring into our department.  

Transfer Steps 

• EXPLORE
  Learn about UW Transfer Admissions & explore the Environmental Public Health Major. Transfer students can declare the major after they are admitted to UW.
  • Consult the Transfer Admission Website for more information about UW Admissions.
  • Local WA State students should plan to attend the weekly UW Admissions Transfer Thursday Sessions, if possible.
  • Learn more about the Environmental Public Health major by attending an info session or viewing the on-demand info session.

• Prepare
  Students transferring in as juniors (6 quarters/90 credits or more) should complete the major's upper admission prerequisites prior to enrolling at UW.
  • Enroll and complete Upper Division Admission Prerequisites at your current institution.
  • WA State community college students should use the transfer guides and sample plans on this page as planning tools only. For updated courses, consult the UW’s equivalency guide.  
  • A UW Environmental Public Health adviser can guide you through the details of the major and is a wonderful resource to meet with before declaring the major. To schedule an appointment, see the Contact an Adviser page.   
• Declare the Major
  Once a student has been admitted to UW, they can submit an online application to declare the Environmental Public Health major.
  • Transfer students should apply for entry to Fall quarter, with application windows typically open from June through August.

As a student transferring to the UW:
"I thought, this is the perfect major for me as a premed student. It prepared me for medical school and gave me a bigger lens going forward."
